Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner explained
The Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner is the police and crime commissioner, an elected official tasked with setting out the way crime is tackled by Nottinghamshire Police in the English County of Nottinghamshire.
The incumbent is Gary Godden, representing the Labour Party. The post of deputy was announced in September 2024, after delays caused by "checks and due diligence".[2]
History
The post was created in November 2012, following an election held on 15 November 2012, and replaced the Nottinghamshire Police Authority. The inaugural incumbent Paddy Tipping was returned in 2012 and again in 2016.[3] [4] [5]
Elections for the third term were scheduled for 6 May 2021, having been postponed from May 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions,[6] [7] with the Conservative Party fielding a candidate for the first time in Caroline Henry, wife of Conservative MP Darren Henry.[8]
The final candidate was confirmed as David Watts, a solicitor and a Nottinghamshire local Liberal Democrat ward councillor at Broxtowe Borough Council, with the Lib Dems also fielding a candidate for the first time.[9]
Following the election of Henry, within days changes were instigated to scrap the role of Deputy Commissioner, citing a potential saving of up to £78,000.[10] [11] In late 2021, Henry announced the appointment of Sharon Caddell as "interim CEO".[12] [13]
As of January 2022, recruitment was underway for a Chief Executive Officer with a salary of £86,630.[14]
After becoming elected in 2024, Godden chose to reinstate the role of deputy commissioner nominating Angela Kandola.[15] She was awarded the BEM in the 2018 New Year Honours list.[16]
