The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire

What The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire does

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire is a publicly elected statutory body established in 2012 under the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, responsible for police governance across the city and county of Nottinghamshire. The PCC (currently Gary Godden, elected May 2024) holds the Chief Constable to account through a bi-monthly Accountability Board, sets the strategic direction via the 2025-29 Police and Crime Plan 'A Safer Nottinghamshire For All', determines the policing portion of Council Tax subject to Police and Crime Panel veto, and commissions victim and community safety services.

The OPCC does not operate a unified technology product; instead it delivers a portfolio of commissioned services and governance mechanisms. Core commissioned services include Nottinghamshire Victim CARE and Restorative Nottinghamshire (both delivered by Remedi from late 2023), the Non-Domestic Stalking Advocacy Service (led by Nottingham Women's Aid with Juno Women's Aid and Equation), the Immediate Justice community reparation programme (supervised by Red Snapper Managed Services, with over 2,000 referrals by July 2026), and the £200,000 Operation SafeTravel public transport safety initiative. Governance and scrutiny infrastructure includes the Joint Independent Audit Committee, Independent Custody Visitors, Animal Welfare Visitors, the Independent Advisory Group (eight themed subgroups), and HMICFRS external inspection. Underlying technology is limited to a Contensis-based website (WCAG 2.1 AA compliant), the Notts Alerts neighbourhood notification system, and a revamped Immediate Justice reporting platform with interactive maps built by Rinato Media.

The funding model is entirely public-sector: core operations are financed by the Home Office police grant and the Council Tax policing precept, supplemented by ring-fenced grants such as the Safer Streets Fund, EMCCA transport safety funding, and the OPCC-administered Safer Nottinghamshire Together Grants (multi-year and Community Chest) and the £1M Make Notts Safe Grants programme. All services are provided free at the point of use. The office operates from Joint Headquarters at Sherwood Lodge, Arnold, Nottingham, with a secondary office at Loxley House, and statutory functions are scheduled to transfer to the East Midlands Combined County Authority Mayor by May 2028 under the Police Reform Bill.

Core offering

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire is a publicly elected government body that provides democratic oversight of Nottinghamshire Police, commissions victim support and crime prevention services, and sets policing priorities for the county. It delivers commissioned services including Nottinghamshire Victim CARE, Restorative Nottinghamshire, stalking advocacy support, and the Immediate Justice community reparation programme through specialist providers and grants to voluntary sector organisations.

Product overview

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire does not operate a unified technology product but rather delivers a portfolio of commissioned public services and governance mechanisms. The core offering consists of victim support services (Nottinghamshire Victim CARE, Restorative Nottinghamshire, Non-Domestic Stalking Advocacy Service) commissioned from specialist providers, community justice programmes (Immediate Justice, Community Remedy, Out of Court Disposals) that provide alternatives to court proceedings, and safety initiatives (Nottinghamshire Safer Streets, Operation SafeTravel) funded through Home Office grants. Governance and accountability mechanisms include the Accountability Board, Joint Independent Audit Committee, and various volunteer scrutiny programmes (Independent Custody Visitors, Animal Welfare Visitors, Independent Advisory Group). These services are coordinated through grant-making, commissioning, and partnership working rather than a unified software platform.
