Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Panel

"I am grateful for the support of the Panel to elect me as the new Chair of this extremely important Panel that covers the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Policing area. I also welcome Cllr Liz Blackshaw as the new Deputy Chair of the Panel.

Working closely with and scrutinising the work of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner plays an important role in ensuring that the Police and Crime Commissioner’s plan is delivered effectively, addresses matters of concern for society and represents good value for our residents.

The cross-party Panel also includes independent members and collectively, the Panel works together towards reducing crime and to ensure that the Police and Crime Commissioner delivers an effective and efficient police force for the area that addresses the needs of our residents and businesses.

With my grateful thanks to our predecessors, Cllr Deborah Taylor and Cllr S Russell whose excellent work we aim to continue."
