I think the term Police Commissar might be more accurate title but a little too Soviet for Britain.Polchraine wrote: A commissioner is some one who commissions an activity - that is get someone to do something, with or without paying for it.

I dunno. Didn't we used to have a Crime Tsar? Or was it a Drug Tsar? All these catchy but meaningless job titles used to deflect disillusion in performance blur into one after a while.channel12 wrote:I think the term Police Commissar might be more accurate title but a little too Soviet for Britain.Polchraine wrote: A commissioner is some one who commissions an activity - that is get someone to do something, with or without paying for it.

Re: Police and Crimes Commissioner
Exactly how does we go about arranging for, say, the gold holdings of the Bank of England, to be transferred to The Sett? Will an email to the commissioner suffice, or do we have to put it in real writing? We can do iron and oak gall ink on proper parchment if needed...Polchraine wrote:So, a Police Commissioner, arranges/pays/manages Police services ... and a Crime Commissioner would initiate crime!

Drink Driving 30+ years ago is apparently enough for him to be disqualified. You have to ask, how it came to light, although he was originally advised it was not a reason for barring him. Someone has been digging dirt ...

Re: Police and Crimes Commissioner
So were the police!! Any obviously political policies or wrangling's by the police should be treated in the exact same way as if they were caught getting a brown envelope under the table in a motorway services as far as i'm concerned!Polchraine wrote:It was originally intended that PCCs were "NON-political" but it did not take long for the parties to jump in.
Both me and my wife voted for the other guy. Durham has always been one, if not THE safest Labour stronghold in the country at all levels due to the prevalence of mining. Until everyone who was an adult/aware in the early 70's has shuffled off this mortal coil, it likely always will be.MistAgain wrote:Labour won the Durham PCC election by 3168 votes .
