Performance

Supporting PCCs to hold their chief constables to account for performance, ensuring the public has a voice in policing and that police forces are accountable to the communities they serve. 

The APCC works collaboratively with partners including His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS), the Home Office, and the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) to enable PCCs to influence discussions and drive improvements in policing performance, locally and nationally.  

Our work includes: 

• Delivery of an APCC-HMICFRS liaison to support PCCs in both stages of the HMICFRS monitoring process (Scan and Engage). We represent members at a range of key meetings, and coordinate national consultation responses to ensure inspection activity is aware of the views of PCCs representing their communities  

• Influencing and shaping policy on national police and crime performance – we represent PCCs across a range of key national policing meetings to ensure the voice of the public is central to national discussions and policy making related to police and crime performance 
• Collating a national response to super-complaints– when HMICFRS publish a report on the super-complaint with findings which include recommendations for PCCs, we work with them to provide a national response to the report and coordinate local responses to recommendations

• Providing PCCs with effective support, guidance and resources –  including the APCC Engage Toolkit, national guidance, briefing from key meetings, data scanning and sharing best practice
• Supporting PCCs with data literacy –  hosting regular workshops and meetings to enable PCCs to fully utilise the insights available from data resources and tools, and to share innovative practice related to PCC-led data analysis and evidence-based governance
