Accountability and Performance Meetings
The Commissioner has introduced a regular new webcast public meeting to hold the Chief Constable to account for the performance of Hertfordshire police.
Following a review of the process, Accountability and Performance meetings will now take place every six weeks. This will enable more effective scrutiny by aligning meetings with the Constabulary's performance reporting cycle, allowing more meaningful progress to be assessed between meetings and creating additional opportunities for public engagement. Please find the new dates below.
7th July 2026, 25th August 2026, 8th October 2026, 26th November 2026, 7th January 2027, 17th February 2027, 1st April 2027, 13th May 2027, 24th June 2027, 5th August 2027, 14th September 2027, 28th October 2027 and 9th December 2027.
During the live webcasts every month, the PCC will scrutinise the delivery of policing in Hertfordshire, asking questions about performance and on topics of high public interest. The meetings enable the PCC and the Chief Constable to publicly demonstrate accountability, transparency and value for money over a broad range of police functions and decisions.

Future meetings will also be used for the Chief Constable to demonstrate progress made against objectives set out in the PCC’s forthcoming Police & Crime Plan.

Police and Crime Commissioners have a statutory duty to hold Chief Constables to account for their running of the force as set out in the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011. Holding to account meetings have always been held in Hertfordshire, but have not previously been held publicly.
