My Decisions

When I took up the office of Police and Crime Commissioner I swore an oath to act with integrity and diligence, to be a voice of the public and to ensure transparency in my decisions and spending of public money.

I will consult with the Police and Crime panel in regard to the level of precept, the policing plan, Chief Constable appointments, complaints, conduct matters and other matters in which the Panel hold me to account.

I will also consult with residents, businesses and the Constabulary as well as other partners in Hertfordshire's criminal justice system.

In addition I publish information about my formal governance arrangements.
