Your PFCC
Roger Hirst - “For me, safe and secure communities are the bedrock on which we build success and prosperity. Good policing means our residents feel secure and safe in their homes and on Essex streets.”

Your PFCC
The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (PFCC) is elected by the public to hold the Chief Constable and Chief Fire Officer to account, effectively making the police and fire and rescue service answerable to the communities they serve.
The PFCC makes sure that community needs are met as efficiently as possible, and local relationships improve through building confidence and restoring trust.
The PFCC works in partnership across a range of agencies at local and national level to ensure there is a unified approach to preventing and reducing crime.
