Scotland uses a different governance model — there are no PCCs
🏛️ How Scotland's Policing is Governed
Scotland does not use the Police and Crime Commissioner model. Following the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012, all eight former regional forces were merged into a single national force, Police Scotland, on 1 April 2013. This is the second-largest police force in the United Kingdom.
Oversight of Police Scotland is provided by the Scottish Police Authority (SPA), a publicly accountable body appointed by the Scottish Government rather than directly elected. The SPA holds the Chief Constable to account and is responsible for the strategic direction of policing in Scotland.
🔷 Scottish Police Authority (SPA)
The SPA oversees Police Scotland, maintains the police fund, and publishes performance reports. Appointed by Scottish Ministers. spa.police.uk
🏛️ Police Scotland
Scotland's single national force covers all 32 council areas. It is the second-largest police force in the UK. police.scot
📋 His Majesty's Inspectorate
HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS) provides independent scrutiny and assurance of policing. hmics.scot
⚖️ Scottish Parliament
The Justice Committee of the Scottish Parliament provides parliamentary scrutiny of justice and policing in Scotland. Policing is a devolved matter.

Northern Ireland — Policing Board
Northern Ireland also has no PCC equivalent — it uses the Policing Board model
🏛️ How Northern Ireland's Policing is Governed
Northern Ireland does not have Police and Crime Commissioners. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is overseen by the Northern Ireland Policing Board, a statutory body established under the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000 on the recommendation of the Patten Report on policing.
The Board consists of 19 members — 10 political members nominated by the main parties in the Northern Ireland Assembly, and 9 independent members. The Board holds the Chief Constable to account and is responsible for monitoring the performance of the PSNI.
🔷 Northern Ireland Policing Board
Holds the Chief Constable to account, approves the policing budget, and monitors PSNI performance. nipolicingboard.org.uk
🏛️ Police Service of Northern Ireland
The PSNI polices Northern Ireland. It evolved from the Royal Ulster Constabulary following the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. psni.police.uk
🏙️ City of London Police — No PCC
The City of London Police, which polices the Square Mile, does not have a Police and Crime Commissioner. It operates under the governance of the City of London Corporation (the Common Council of the City of London), making it unique among UK police forces. The Court of Common Council acts as the police authority for the City of London Police. Contact: cityoflondon.police.uk
