ANALYSIS: With all 37 police and crime commissioners and police, fire and crime commissioners across England and Wales due to take office tomorrow (Thursday, 2 May), Policing Insight rounds up the campaign commitments, pledges and victory comments from the latest cohort of commissioners – including some new names, several familiar faces, and some long-serving office holders.

INTERVIEW: Voters in England and Wales go to the polls next week in the police and crime commissioner (PCC) elections; in the first of two interviews with long-serving PCCs now stepping down, Labour PCC for South Wales Alun Michael spoke to Policing Insight’s James Sweetland about the risk of “hubris” among chief constables, why the PCC-chief relationship “shouldn’t be too comfortable”, and his reflections on 12 years as a PCC and 50 years as an elected politician.

ANALYSIS: Members of the public in England and Wales will have the opportunity to cast their vote for either the police and crime commissioner or mayor who will have responsibility for policing in their region; after the 'blue wave' of 2021, Policing Insight looks at the candidates, the political landscape, and the potential outcomes of this year's elections.
