It would seem that when the new police commissioners were elected a few months ago it was poorly advertised and only 14% of those people eligible to vote did so. Many of those elected had no experience but more worrying is that many of them have gone on spending sprees and cronyism by chosen friends or colleagues to be their deputy or other well paid positions. These people were elected to oversee their police forces but it now seems that many of them can't be trusted. In Cumbria the police commissioner their has used his position to claim for two chauffeur driven trips costing over £700 he has since repaid this money but only after two people reported it. These two people have since been arrested by the police on data protection offences. These people were doing their duty, as the police commissioner was abusing his position. This comes after another police commissioner picked a seventeen year old as a youth crime commissioner then it was discovered that this girl had sent abusive text and e-mails previously she should have been vetted but the commissioner was not it would seem doing her job properly. Again who can the public trust today.
