Ian Wiggett from Policing Insight discusses the recent Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections in England and Wales with Bernard Rix. The main themes include the results of the elections, the makeup of the elected PCCs, and the potential impact of the new PCCs on policing priorities.
The conversation also touches on the diversity of the elected PCCs and the changes in the political landscape. Overall, the Labour Party performed well in the elections, but there were some surprising results in traditionally conservative areas.
Takeaways
Labour performed well in the PCC elections, but they could have won more seats.
There is a generational change among the elected PCCs, with more younger and female candidates.
The new PCCs may have different priorities than their predecessors, which could impact their relationship with chief constables.
The political landscape of police forces is shifting, with a majority of forces now led by Labour.
