I hope I can encourage everyone to participate in the following survey
- http://www.essex.pcc.police.uk/LocalCaseForChange/
This survey is concerned with the proposals for the Police and Crime
Commissioner to take on responsibility for the Essex Fire Authority.
This is an effective merger of the two bodies, and the survey
postulates three alternatives. I wish there was a 'none of the above' option.
I did not like the politicization of the police that was the result of
having a PCC elected, and am not any keener that this be extended to the fire
service. These bodies already have elected members on the boards that give
accountability to those in charge.
I gave low markings for all three options - none, in my humble opinion,
do anything to make Essex safer.
