As Police & Crime Commissioner, my role is to be your voice in <\/span>#policing<\/span><\/span> in <\/span>#gloucestershire<\/span><\/span> .<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

One part of the role, and something i take really seriously is the being the voice of victims.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I think we all know our criminal justice system is creaking and the underinvestment in it over the last decade has really been exposed during the coronavirus pandemic. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I chair the local criminal justice board and my office oversees the commissioning of many victims services. And we are doing our bit to try and make the system better.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Some success<\/h3>\n
If you\\’re a regular reader of my website, you\\’ll know I\\’ve tried to lobby for a new court building for our county – sadly to no avail.<\/div>\n
