Wiltshire的警察和犯罪专员Philip Wilkinson(Philip Wilkinson)谴责英国政府突然废除PCC的角色, Wiltshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Wilkinson, condemned the UK government’s sudden abolition of the PCC role, citing only an hour’s notice and lack of consultation. 他称这一举动是自上而下的强权抢占,认为PCC公司通过确保比它们花费更多的资金并维持Wiltshire作为联合王国最安全县之一的地位而带来价值,尽管人均警察经费很少。 He called the move a top-down power grab, arguing PCCs delivered value by securing more funding than they cost and maintaining Wiltshire’s status as one of the UK’s safest counties despite low per-capita police funding. 威尔金森(Wilkinson)批评向地区市长的转变是意识形态驱动的,破坏了地方问责制,并质疑政府为前线治安节省1亿英镑的主张。 Wilkinson criticized the shift to regional mayors as ideologically driven and damaging to local accountability, disputing the government’s claim of £100 million in savings for frontline policing. 他发誓在过渡期间继续为公众服务,对警务和透明度受到的影响表示关切。 He vowed to continue serving the public during the transition, expressing concern over the impact on policing and transparency.
