Cambridgeshire PCC election: The candidates who say they will be standing
- Published
Commissioners hold the police to account, rather than running local police forces
Voters will head to the polls to elect Cambridgeshire's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) on 6 May.
PCCs are elected as representatives who work to ensure police forces in England and Wales are running effectively.
They replaced police authorities in 2012 and were intended to bring a public voice to policing.
Elections were postponed in 2020 due to coronavirus but look set to go ahead this year.
