John Campion says the Government's decision to scrap Police & Crime Commissioners is 'rushed' and will lead to disruption for front line police officers. Conservative John Campion has been in the role for Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire for the past nine years and tells Tom Edwards he can see the change he's achieved in the role, with greater focus on domestic abuse and 500 more officers since he was first elected. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Secretary Shabana Mahmood has described the role as a 'failed experiment'. The Government says councils and elected mayors will be given responsibility for holding chief constables to account from 2028.
