"Most of the commissioners have been members of the main political parties. The police should be non political, so I belive it is a positive move. Savings of £100 million will be made over this parliament term. That money will be spent on around 300 plus additional police officers, again a positive move. Does any one know of anything good these commissioners have done in the last 13 year?" Why do a few bureaucrats cost the nation £100 million over the course of a parliamentary terms. Quite literally ... pigs with their noses in the trough! | |||

"…Quite literally ... pigs with their noses in the trough!" Ironically, few if any of them have any professional policing experience. Most are ex/failed politicians. | |||

"All a waste of money a way to give jobs to there own we getting ripped off by the dictatorship that runs this country " Strange comment, given that the police and crime commissioner is a democratically elected position, one that you would have been able to vote in had you been bothered to do so. | |||

I have to question the idea of democratically elected. Most had political parties backing then with election staff and funds, why would a political party do that, I think for political control of the police service. Which I maintain is fundamentally undemocratic. Police must be non political. | |||

I suspect you didn't bother to vote. Therefore, in my opinion, you have no right to comment. | |||

If I don't vote, it's because I don't want any of the candidates. It's immaterial whether it is parliamentary elections, Council elections, mayoral elections, police commissioners ... They are all out there to line their pockets, further their careers and serve their cronies. I won't dignify any of them by voting for them. | |||

"The police should be non political, so I belive it is a positive move." From the news reports, the “responsibility” will go back to either an elected mayor or the council - both of which are political (which is what it was before the PCC). | |||

"Can you imagine how much that will cost in redundancy payments, not to mention ongoing pensions until death ???" A mere drop in the ocean of council’s pensions bill. An average of a quarter of your council tax goes toward saving, some councils it’s over half. | |||

"Can you imagine how much that will cost in redundancy payments?" I believe the “plan” is to let them stay until the end of their “elected term”. If that is the case then there would (or should) be no “redundancy payment” as they have come to the end of a “fixed term contract” - they wouldn’t get a redundancy payment if they stood and lost in an election. | |||

Savings of £100 million will be made over this parliament term. That money will be spent on around 300 plus additional police officers, again a positive move. Aparrently the election process is m£83 which sounded a lot until you realise the population of E&W less those with directly elected mayoralties. About £2 per resident so not expensive but still I agree a few more peelers on the prowl will be more benicial. Does any one know of anything good these commissioners have done in the last 13 year? Why do a few bureaucrats cost the nation £100 million over the course of a parliamentary terms. Quite literally ... pigs with their noses in the trough!" | |||

"Always thought it a bit of a daft idea in the first place. Bound to be political and hardly anyone understood what it was all about. Local to me the first election for a P.C. Attracted a 21% turnout. Even the 2nd one didn't get that many votes even though it was the same day as a county council election. My old neighbour said she voted for a councillor but returned the commissioner ballot blank as she had no idea who to vote for." Our one was actually mentioned in the actually to scrap the post because of his links to the hunt, allowing them to get away with illegal fox hunting. He's a total waste of money. | |||

"…Quite literally ... pigs with their noses in the trough! Ironically, few if any of them have any professional policing experience. Most are ex/failed politicians." Exactly like Vera Baird, got her arse kicked out of her Redcar constituency, went to Northumbria police then moved on to some Equaltities commission How i wish I could get a foothold on the gravy train | |||

"It's the only vote I've spoiled. Years ago, when we voted for the first commissioners, I drew a line through the whole lot and wrote "this is a waste of money" across the paper. We have chief constables, are they not doing the same job? The only consolation was John Prescott failed to become commissioner for his part of Yorkshire (Hull) at the time. " I did exactly the same in my Northumberland constituency | |||

"Good, scrap the mayors as well, especially a certain muslim in London. Take his knighthood away as well to remind him hes nothing 😆 Racist, much?" Not really racist. Couldn't care less about someone's ethnic origins if they were up to the job. Mildly Islamophobic perhaps but Khan is his own worse enemy on that count. Politics and religion don't mix. The office of London Mayor has never been successful. Livingstone was a prat. Boris acted the clown which made me have doubts about his suitability to become PM. khan has been hopeless. | |||

He's a bit of a controversial figure. I thought it very wrong of him to join the anti-Trump protests whatever anyone may think of Trump. Damaged the dignity of his office. I don't begrudge him his faith but he has made a big point of it when perhaps he should be more neutral in a multi-faith city. | |||

I feel its the press and anti Muslim mob that makes an issue of it. The original message I was calling racist by a numpty on here singled out khan, he could have used any city mayor. But predictably went for Khan. | |||
