Police Crime Commissioners (PCC) will meet in London later today to discuss how they can repair their tarnished image after a difficult first year in which there were accusations of fiddling expenses, electoral fraud and bullying.
'One in three' people do not not know who their police crime commissioner (PCC) is, according to a BBC poll, even though the role was created to forge greater links between the community and their local force.
Research shows 35% do not know who has been elected to oversee their local police budget and 3% incorrectly identified the person in charge.
On top of this PCCs have been accused of fiddling expenses, electoral fraud and bullying during their tumultuous first year in office.
To mark the first anniversary of the inaugural elections, PCCs are gathering today in London to discuss how they can maintain and increase public confidence in policing.
41 PCCs were elected last year amongst the a worryingly low average voter turnout - just 14.9%.
