Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner
The Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner is the police and crime commissioner, an elected official tasked with setting out the way crime is tackled by Cambridgeshire Police in the English County of Cambridgeshire. The post was created in November 2012, following an election held on 15 November 2012, and replaced the Cambridgeshire Police Authority. The post was filled by Sir Graham Bright from 2012 to 2016, then by Jason Ablewhite who represented the Conservative Party until 11 November 2019, when he resigned following his referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct after an undisclosed complaint was made against him. The post is currently filled on an interim basis by Peterborough councillor Ray Bisby until the next Police and Crime Commissioner elections in May 2021 (postponed from May 2020 due to Covid-19).[1]
