The future of police governance
The future of police governance
Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) will remain in post until May 2028. Lancashire’s PCC, Clive Grunshaw, will continue to act as the public’s voice in policing and deliver the priorities set out in his Police and Crime Plan.
On 13 November 2025, the Government announced that the PCC role will be abolished across England and Wales. It’s important to emphasise that this is not an immediate change and all ongoing work continues as normal.
