Surrey will find out who will hold police forces to account today as the results of the Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) election are set to be announced.
The county’s incumbent Police and Crime Commissioner Kevin Hurley, who ran under the banner ‘Zero Tolerance’ in November 2012, will find out his fate later on.
March 2: Police and Crime Commissioner Kevin Hurley defends election rival over speeding controversy
He was challenged by independent candidates Jamie Goldrick and Camille Juliff, Labour candidate Howard Kaye, Paul Kennedy from the Liberal Democrats, David Munro from the Conservatives, and UKIP candidate Julia Searle.
The PCC oversees Surrey Police’s strategy and budget and holds the force’s chief constable to account.
The PCC delivers a police and crime plan and creates a link between the police and the public they serve.
The plan is shaped by the public and prioritises a zero-tolerance approach to policing, more visible street policing, putting victims at the centre of the criminal justice system and encouraging public feedback.
The role was created in 2012. As the commissioner serves four-year terms, PCCs face their first re-election this year.
The polls have now closed after voting yesterday.
The full list of candidates is:
• Jamie GOLDRICK – Independent
• Kevin Barry HURLEY - Zero Tolerance Policing ex Chief
• Camille Vannassche Weldon JULIFF - Independent
• Howard James KAYE – Labour Party
• Paul KENNEDY – Liberal Democrats
• David John MUNRO – Conservative Party Candidate
• Julia Florence SEARLE – UKIP
We will have the results as they are announced.
