On 15 November 2012, for the first time ever, elections will be held to elect a Police and Crime Commissioner who will be accountable for how crime is tackled in their police force areas.
To provide stronger and more transparent accountability of the police, the Police and Crime Commissioner will be elected by the public to hold Chief Constables and their forces to account, effectively making the police answerable to the communities they serve.
The elected Police and Crime Commissioner will also be responsible for setting the police force's strategic priorities, cutting crime, appointing and, if necessary, dismissing the Chief Constable and ensuring that policing is efficient and effective.
Further information about the running of these elections in the Barrow Borough Council area will follow.
