“The results are in and we can now announce the winner of Devon and Cornwall’s Police and Crime Commissioner elections.
Conservative Alison Hernandez won with votes equal to 24% of the votes cast. Voter turnout this year was low, 23%, but higher than in the previous election in 2012 when only 15% of people voted.
Speaking before the election MS Hernandez said she wants ” neglected” places like Ilfracombe to benefit more from police funding as she believes there has been too much of a focus on the “triangle” of Exeter, Torbay and Plymouth.”
And now we have the interesting case of a PCC being investigated for election fraud by her Chief Constable – who she can sack but who cannot sack her!
