Council Tax

I've still got my original copy of "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" which was the book that the film was from.

 

I bought my copy of the original Philip K. Dick book in 1968. He died in 1982 and his friend K.W.Jeter wrote the three sequels.

Dick's story "We can remember it wholesale" was turned into the film "Total Recall" and he also wrote "The Minority Report".

 

Hello @pete


ROLE OF THE PCC
Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) were elected for the second time on the 5th of May 2016 in 40 force areas across England and Wales. Every force area is represented by a PCC, except Greater Manchester and London, where PCC responsibilities lie with the Mayor.

The role of the PCCs is to be the voice of the people and hold the police to account. They are responsible for the totality of policing.

PCCs aim to cut crime and deliver an effective and efficient police service within their force area.

PCCs have been elected by the public to hold Chief Constables and the force to account, effectively making the police answerable to the communities they serve.

PCCs ensure community needs are met as effectively as possible, and are improving local relationships through building confidence and restoring trust. They work in partnership across a range of agencies at local and national level to ensure there is a unified approach to preventing and reducing crime.

Under the terms of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, PCCs must:

• secure an efficient and effective police for their area;
• appoint the Chief Constable, hold them to account for running the force, and if necessary dismiss them;
• set the police and crime objectives for their area through a police and crime plan;
• set the force budget and determine the precept;
• contribute to the national and international policing capabilities set out by the Home Secretary; and
• bring together community safety and criminal justice partners, to make sure local priorities are joined up.

 

Hello @pete the Kent PCC at the moment gets £86000 a year ,its a hard job but somebody's got to do it

 

It certainly was!!! If I remember correctly, 16 year old Paris Brown was appointed youth PCC for Kent. Her starting salary was £15k. The job lasted six days when she was found to have posted racist tweets a couple of years earlier. They certainly do good vetting before appointing people
