The APCC is the membership body representing Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), Police, Fire and Crime Commissioners (PFCCs) and Deputy Mayors in England and Wales. We influence policing and the criminal justice landscape nationally on behalf of members and help them to hold the police to account on performance, preventing crime and to support victims.
All PCCs, PFCCs, Deputy Mayors and Mayors with responsibility for policing and crime are members.

Policy and Governance Managers
Salary: £47,075-£52,679 plus London Weighting if applicable
Contract: Initially available as fixed term contracts or secondments to 30 September 2026
The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners has exciting opportunities for two Policy and/or Policy and Governance Managers to join our busy team to deliver an ambitious programme of work to develop and support Police and Crime Commissioners and their equivalents (PCCs) as the public’s elected voice on policing and criminal justice.
These are rewarding and demanding roles with responsibility for leading and supporting some of the key deliverables for this programme of work. You will need to have excellent analytical, policy development, communications and problem-solving skills, a strong commitment to the development of the PCC role and ideally experience of working within the policing governance or a closely related sector. One role will have a focus on local policing – including Anti-Social Behaviour and business and retail crime -while the other will focus on supporting PCCs to effectively scrutinise their forces and to address performance issues.
The APCC is the national membership organisation for PCCs, deputy mayors and other local policing bodies. We support PCCs to provide national leadership, deliver their priorities locally and to drive strategic change in policing, criminal justice and community safety. These are varied and rewarding roles at the heart of the organisation and provide a unique opportunity to gain further experience of national policing and criminal justice policy.
The closing date for applications is Wednesday 21st May, with interviews expected to be held w/c 2 June.

PCCs preventing crime
PCCs, PFCCs and Deputy Mayors play a crucial role in preventing crime, improving community safety and rehabilitating offenders across England and Wales. Our latest campaign highlights the unique role that PCCs and their equivalents play in facilitating programmes to address the root causes of criminal behaviour, as well as showing that PCCs can deliver more at a local level in supporting and leading existing prevention partnerships.
