联合王国将在2028年前以民选市长取代警察和犯罪专员,集中警务监督。 The UK will replace Police and Crime Commissioners with elected mayors by 2028, centralizing policing oversight.

联合王国政府已宣布于2028年废除警察和犯罪专员,代之以直接选举产生的市长,负责维持治安和犯罪。 The UK government has announced the abolition of Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) by 2028, replacing them with directly elected mayors responsible for policing and crime. 自2024年5月以来,Hertfordshire的PCC的Jonathan Ash-Edwards说,这一变化是预料之中的,并肯定他继续将重点放在保障公共安全上,并列举了2025年初增加的32 000次高可见度巡逻和1 200起已破案的犯罪上升。 Jonathan Ash-Edwards, Hertfordshire’s PCC since May 2024, said the change was anticipated and affirmed his continued focus on delivering public safety, citing 32,000 additional high-visibility patrols and a 1,200 rise in solved crimes in early 2025. 在支持他到2028年5月任期届满之前正在进行的工作的同时,他表示关切的是,集中进行警务监督可能会削弱地方问责制和与社区需求相距甚远的决策。 While supporting ongoing work until his term ends in May 2028, he expressed concern that centralizing policing oversight could weaken local accountability and distance decision-making from community needs. 过渡时期将随着目前和平协调委员会任期的结束,向当选市长或理事会领导人转移责任。 The transition will shift responsibilities to elected mayors or council leaders as current PCC terms conclude.
