Joy Allen has been re-elected as Durham Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).
Speaking after the declaration Joy Allen said: “Local people have placed their trust in me and I will repay that trust by redoubling my efforts to prevent crime and ASB, tackle the alcohol and drug issues that underpin so much crime and so many accidents. I am determined to continue the work to make our roads safer for all road users. I assure everyone, whether they voted for me or not, that I am determined our residents and businesses will receive a quality police service and that victims of crime receive first class support service, tailored to their needs.”
