Why I support elected PCCs – in a nutshell

September 8th, 2012

Here goes;

There seems to be a sizeable difference of opinion between what the general public think the Police can achieve and what the Police think the general public actually want.  Elected PCCs should go some way to closing that gap. But this new system will take time to bed down. As political wags will tell you, sale the first test of a democratic society is not the first election, but the second and it’s just the same with these new elected officials. We will need a good 10 years of PCCs in order to tell how successful they have been.

And expect some failures as well as successes – which it what happens with democracy.

Following on from a suggestion by one of our members and thanks to our dedicated team of programmers, hospital we have recently invested in making sure that all wards – the smallest electoral division – are matched to the relevant County Council, London Borough,  Metropolitan Council etc. This was actually harder to do that it sounds !

We have also included a full listing of all wards under the relevant local authority – e.g. Leeds City Council which has 33 wards and makes comparisons easier. With membership, you can now export as csv files all the wards and their underlying crime data in a time series matched with the names of the authorities.

Update – London Assembly + London Assembly Constituencies “Other” crime bug now fixed

Ok, cialis sale we got this done quicker than I hoped for. Boris Johnson and his brethren will be pleased to here that we now have all crime figure correctly displayed for the London Assembly area as a whole and the 14 London Assembly Constituencies – like this one – Croydon and Sutton. Please note, these figures will differ slightly from the London Met. figures because the boundaries are almost certainly slightly different at the edges and we do not show crimes with no location.

In the meantime, I’m curious to see what impact the Olympics had on crime – it should be possible to discern a difference compared to the previous year. We won’t have August data until the beginning of October and to look back 12 months or further, you only need membership starting at just £9.99 a month.

I also wonder sometimes if great as it is that we have an elected Mayor in London, a separate elected Police Chief wouldn’t be a bad idea either. As the elections hot up for Police Crime Commissioners across the country, you sense that London is missing out somewhat.
