We pay tribute to the important work that Police and Crime Commissioners have done, particularly their role in delivering safer communities
Responding to the announcement of reforms to Police and Crime Commissioner's, Cllr Matt Boughton, Chair of the LGA's Safer and Stronger Communities committee, said: "The protection of local communities has always been at the core of policing. We are therefore pleased to see that the strong link between policing and local communities will be maintained, particularly in areas which will see the introduction of new local authority led policing boards.
"We pay tribute to the important work that Police and Crime Commissioners have done, particularly their role in delivering safer communities. We look forward to further detail from the Home Office on the plans for local policing boards and working with the Government to establish them."
