Jonathan Ash-Edwards has vowed to increase police"visibility" and"responsiveness" as he becomes Hertfordshire’s second-ever police and crime commissioner .
According to Home Office figures, around 2,083 officers were employed in frontline roles across the county on March 31 last year, up from 1,891 in 2010 and 1,667 in 2015. “I think it’s really important that that is what we allow to happen and that we don’t have too much Whitehall meddling in that. “It’s really important that government, that PCCs back the men and women on the frontline to go after criminals and keep people safe.”
“David Lloyd has left a good legacy – more police, one of the safest places in the country, and one of the lowest policing precepts in the country as well.Less than one-third of Hertfordshire’s electorate took part, but Mr Ash-Edwards won it with one of the highest turnouts in the East of England – 29.3 per cent.The Liberal Democrats’ Councillor Sean Prendergast received 68,264 votes, against 66,585 for the Labour Party’s Cllr Tom Plater and 26,714 for the Green Party’s Cllr Matt Fisher.
