Northamptonshire PFCC 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 Northamptonshire's Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (PFCC) on 6 May.
Police and Crime Commissioners work to ensure police forces in England and Wales are running effectively.
In Northamptonshire, the Home Office approved plans for the county's PCC to also take charge of the fire service.
Elections were postponed in 2020 due to coronavirus but look set to go ahead this year.
