I have significant leadership experience in business, charities, and the public sector.
I have what is required to take on this serious job.
I regard this a full-time role requiring a focus on the interests of our communities, not self-promotion.

partnerships with councils and the NHS - community engagement - ensure an outstanding police service
clear strategies and targets - high performance and value for money - effective and efficient offering value for money - listening and responding and engaging residents and businesses
As the PCC I would specifically - be supportive of the police but always be the voice of the community - be strategic not operational - hold the Chief Constable to account on behalf the people of Bedfordshire - listen and engage with residents, businesses and communities - show leadership across the Bedfordshire criminal justice system - be a fearless advocate for Bedfordshire to national government - work in partnership with a Labour Home Secretary - make the case for more funding
