The role of the PCC is to be the voice of the people and hold the police to account. Elections will be taking place in England and Wales. In London, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire, there will be elections at the same time for Mayors who exercise PCC functions. PCCs are responsible for the totality of policing in their force area and aim to cut crime and deliver an effective and efficient police service. 39 PCCs will be elected across England and Wales, of which 4 are also responsible for overseeing the fire and rescue authority for their area and are called Police, Fire and Crime Commissioners (PFCC) – these PFCCs are found in Essex, Staffordshire, North Yorkshire and Northamptonshire). There will also be 3 Mayors with PCC functions elected in London, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire. PCCs are elected by you and aim to cut crime and hold the force to account on behalf of the public. PCCs bring a public voice to policing, and they do this by: • engaging with the public and victims of crime to help set the policing priorities for the area and consulting on their Police and Crime plans; • ensuring the police force budget is spent where it matters most; and • appointing the Chief Constable, holding them to account for delivery of their objectives and if necessary, dismissing them.

  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces
    The Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Article Social Media by UK Police Forces Elena M. Egawhary Columbia University, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the various surveillance practices involved in the use of social media for communication and investigation purposes by UK police forces. In doing so, it analyses internal policy documents and official guidance obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests sent to 46 police forces in the United Kingdom. This analysis finds that UK police forces advise their staff to simultaneously engage in both surveillance and counter-surveillance strategies in their use of social media as a policing tool. Introduction The use of social media by UK police forces falls into two broad categories: communication (or engagement) and investigation (or operational use). UK police forces began registering corporate accounts on Twitter and Facebook for communication purposes for the first time in 2008. However, UK police forces’ use of the internet for investigative purposes dates back to April 2001 with the creation of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) to “investigate attacks on the Critical National Infrastructure; major internet based offences of paedophilia, fraud or extortion; information from seized electronic media and gather intelligence on cybercrime and cybercriminals” (Corbitt 2001: 29). Prior to 2001, most of the responsibility for using social networking sites to investigate crime fell to a small number of digital evidence recovery officers who were “swamped and learning on the job” (Thomas 2005) resulting in a reportedly “huge workload” (Goodwin 2005). This suggests that the use of social media in UK policing began in an unstructured way and “on the basis of initiatives by individual officers and subsequently with varying degrees of official support” (Crump 2011: 1).

We believe this project 28 Feedback represents innovation at its best, benefiting patients, clinicians, and commissioners alike. The NHS has shown that where there 38 References is the willingness and capacity to innovate, truly extraordinary feats can be achieved; all the more important in these challenging times. As we approach the completion of this project, we believe it is time for tried and tested innovations like Sleepio to be routinely adopted in the NHS, and embedded in commissioning and service delivery across the country. In this way, the very purpose of the AHSN Network - “transforming lives through healthcare innovation” - can result in millions of people getting access to solutions that really work, while at the same time offering cost savings to the NHS. We would like to thank all the stakeholders who have come together to make this project such a success and in particular, we are grateful to Innovate UK for their funding and ongoing support.
