These are the results of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections in Wales.

On Thursday, voters took to the polls to choose the PCCs who will shape the future of policing in Wales.

PCCs have been part of the Welsh landscape since 2012. They are democratic representatives responsible for overseeing the police.

They set the police budget, employ the Chief Constable and work closely with councils and community organisations on police plans.

Wales has four Police and Crime Commissioners, one for each policing area: North Wales, Dyfed Powys, South Wales and Gwent.

PCCs do not have day-to-day responsibilities of the police and they are not involved in operational decisions.
