Vote of confidence to be held on PCC Shaun Wright

Additional Information

We the people demand Parliament holds a vote of confidence on South Yorkshire Police Commissioner Shaun Wright.

Secondly we demand a full explanation as to why an elected official cannot be removed by the electorate when they are not competent for the role.

"The police reform and social responsibility act which her department led through the parliament virtually bomb-proofed PCCs from calls to resign.

The act allows the oversight panel for a PCC to suspend a PCC if they so choose but only if the PCC is charged with an offence which carries a maximum term of 2 years jail.

At one point in the bill’s passage, the then shadow policing minister Vernon Coaker pointed out this meant that a future PCC could be charged with assaulting a police officer and still not be removed from office.
