Wiltshire Police and Crime Commissioner: crime since 2012
The government plans to abolish Police and Crime Commissioners in May 2028. Where an area has an elected mayor, the mayor will run policing; elsewhere, new police and crime boards made up of council leaders will. The law to do this has not been passed yet. Source
