Wales Office ministers have聽today [14 January 2013] met with the 4 newly elected聽Police and Crime Commissioners聽(PCC) for the Welsh forces during a visit to聽Cardiff.
Secretary of State for Wales, David Jones, and Stephen Crabb met with Christopher Salmon, Ian Johnstone, Winston Roddick and Alun Michael who were all elected聽as聽Police and Crime Commissioners聽last year.聽
Following the meeting,聽the Secretary of State for Wales聽said:
I was delighted to have the opportunity to have this meeting with the Police and Crime Commissioners, and to congratulate them on their elections.
Police and Crime Commissioners will be driven by one clear objective - to cut crime where聽we live.聽They will do so by being a voice for local concerns, protecting frontline policing, getting tough with anti-social behaviour and slashing bureaucracy.聽聽Most importantly,聽they will stand up for victims.
Mr Crabb said:
Our police forces聽do a fantastic job in tackling crime and disorder. The聽election of the new聽PCCs聽is a聽big step towards聽Welsh people having a greater say in how their areas are policed. I look forward to meeting with them regularly to gain an insight into the progress being made.
