The UK Government has announced the abolition of Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), effective from 2028. Oversight of policing will be transferred to directly elected mayors where possible, or to new local policing boards led by council leaders.

This decision is part of a broader initiative aimed at restructuring local governance in policing. The government anticipates that this change will lead to more direct accountability in law enforcement.

The move is expected to save approximately £100 million from 2028, as previously reported. This financial aspect is a significant consideration in the government"s decision-making process.
