From your Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner:
“I’m here to give you, the people of Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, a voice on all things police and crime related. I will work with Northumbria Police to deliver safer streets, and stronger communities for all.”
Support for victims
Do you need support following a crime? We're committed to finding the right support to help you recover from your experience and get your life back on track.
Get SupportAbout PCCs
Your Police and Crime Commissioner is elected by you, the public, to hold the Chief Constable and the force to account. They are your voice in the force, making the police answerable to the communities they serve.
Your PCC is responsible for hiring a chief constable, setting the force’s budget and strategic priorities and overseeing other areas of the local criminal justice system, such as victim support services.
The office publishes regular information to show you how the PCC is performing against election promises, and they are held to account on your behalf by a specialist Police and Crime Panel.
