Earlier this week, BBC Radio 4’s “World at One” ran two pieces on PCCs and the forthcoming PCC elections. These radio pieces accompanied an article by BBC Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw for the BBC’s website.
Our thanks to BBC Producer Gaetan Portal (seen below with CoPaCC Chief Executive Bernard Rix and the BBC’s Danny Shaw) for the ‘audioboom’ recordings embedded in this article.
PCCs’ record to date
This features interviews with Olly Martins, Sir Graham Bright and Stephen Bett, the current PCCs for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
What the future holds for PCCs
Danny Shaw here interviews Vera Baird and Adam Simmonds (the current PCCs for Northumbria and Northamptonshire), as well as Bernard Rix. There are extracts from the PCC Candidate Briefing event and the thoughts of two attendees. Finally, World at One host Martha Kearney interviews Lord Wasserman, widely credited as the driving force behind the introduction of PCCs.
