On November 14th, a significant shift in policing was announced in England. The government plans to abolish the role of Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) by 2028, transferring responsibilities to local mayors and council leaders. This decision, aimed at saving £100 million, comes after fewer than 20% of voters could name their local PCC. Current PCCs, including Gary Godden, will serve until the end of their terms. The change is expected to enhance neighborhood policing initiatives and is supported by local officials, who assure continued police accountability and victim services.
