The role of the Police and Crime Commissioner
Every four years, people in each police force area in the country elect a Police and
Crime Commissioner (PCC) to represent them. My job as PCC is to set the priorities of
the police and criminal justice services in South Yorkshire on your behalf.
I do this by producing a Police and Crime Plan, setting out what I believe are your
priorities for policing and crime. I then communicate this to the police, partner agencies
such as the local authority and the NHS, the Police and Crime Panel (local councillors
who hold me to account), the Home Office - and the public.
Within the Plan is a list of issues that the public, police and partners have identified as
areas of concern. (For the full version go to my website: www.southyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk)
The Chief Constable, who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Force, must
deliver the priorities and meet the outcomes I have set out in the plan. I hold the Chief
Constable to account on the delivery of policing through my Public Accountability
Board, which meets in public each month, as well as less formal meetings, discussions
and reports throughout the year.
I also hold the budget for policing and crime services in South Yorkshire and allocate
money to deliver the plans to meet the priorities. This money is collected from a range
of sources though principally Government grants and the Council Tax precept.
Commissioned Services and Grants
I also commission a number of services, where either the police cannot provide them or
it is more effective for someone else to.
These are services that help victims of crime, support the rehabilitation of offenders,
provide drug treatment, support community safety activities and diversionary activities
to help stop crime happening in the first place.
I either commission an outside organisation to provide the service or I invite
organisations to apply for a grant from money set aside for this purpose. Details of the
Grant Scheme are available on my website.

Policing and Crime Aim
My overall aim in the Police and Crime Plan is that I want South Yorkshire to be
a safe place to live, work and learn.
This can be achieved by focusing on these three priorities:
• Protecting vulnerable people
• Tackling crime and anti-social behaviour
• Treating people fairly
I am asking those I commission to demonstrate how they are doing this by looking at
a number of outcomes:

Value for Money
