Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Elections

Your guide to the 2012 elections.

Conservative Anthony Stansfeld has been elected as Thames Valley's first Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).

The PCC Election results in Thames Valley were:
Anthony Stansfeld, Conservative – 94,238 votes (after two stages)
Tim Starkey, Labour – 70,403 votes (after two stages)
Geoff Howard, Independent – 31,716 votes
John Orrell Howson, Liberal Democrats – 20,511 votes
Barry Cooper, UKIP – 19,324 votes
Patience Tayo Awe – Independent – 14,878 votes

The result was formally declared on 16 November 2012 at Aylesbury Vale District Council, where the Police Area Returning Officer for the Thames Valley was Andrew Grant, the Chief Executive. A total of 226,512 votes were cast giving an overall turnout of 13.3 per cent.

The PCC will take up their role from 22 November 2012, and will replace the Thames Valley Police Authority.

There were a total of 41 PCC elections – 37 in England and four in Wales. PCCs will ensure the policing needs of their communities are met as effectively as possible, bringing communities closer to the police, building confidence in the system and restoring trust.

PCCs will make and influence key decisions which will impact on how local areas look and feel, from CCTV, street lighting and graffiti to tackling gangs and drug-dealing. Their job is to listen to the public and respond to their needs, bringing more of a public voice to policing and giving the public a name and a face to complain to if they aren't satisfied.

Aylesbury Vale District Council would like to thank everyone involved in the elections for their contribution.
