New chief executive for the police and crime commissioner's office
A CHIEF executive has been appointed for the office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.
David Peet was selected for the post after a recruitment process and will take up the post in April.
-

Mr Peet, previously deputy chief executive of Northamptonshire Police Authority, said: “I am, naturally, delighted, and am looking forward to working with Commissioner Alan Charles and his team as we all learn to tread new ground under the new legislation.
“Since the Police and Crime Commissioner elections last November we have seen new ways of working with regard to policing governance and there are more to come. It’s an exciting, and challenging, period of change bringing new opportunities for the police and community safety partners, and I am proud to be part of it.”

Commissioner, Mr Charles said: “I am very pleased that we have found a chief executive of David’s undoubted calibre. He comes with an impressive background of strong leadership and organisational change – skills which will be invaluable in the work we are doing regarding policing, partnership working and crime within Derbyshire.”
Mr Peet, who will be paid £70,000, will be involved with supporting the delivery of the Commissioner’s police and crime plan and ensuring that the monitoring and community engagement roles of the Commissioner are fulfilled. He will also be responsible for managing the Commissioner’s team of staff and advising him on the legal functions of his role.
The Police and Crime Panel will now hold a Confirmation Hearing on Friday, April 5, when members will be given the opportunity to scrutinise the appointment and make any recommendations they feel appropriate.
Mr Peet takes over the reins from the interim chief executive Phil Harper, who previously headed up the transition project from the former Police Authority to the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.

“its nice to see that taxpayers money is well spent. a new position for the police services announcing that David Peet has acquired this position.
Lets see if he will practice good conduct in acquiring ways to tackle crime within the community.
A issue that concerns me deeply regarding narcotics marijuana cocaine and heroine.
the fight against these products have been long on the menu. the Police have been busting gangs and individual drug pushers up and down the country.
Its difficult in understanding the law as to were we are actually going or achieving by making these products illegal. as smoking a cigarette has many costly factors that has serious consequences on the lives of many people in the UK.
i would like to see a good will gesture firstly coming from the police services and then filtering down to services like welfare probation prison officers alike contributing to the war on drugs.
as i am well aware that some people within these services are hiding behind curtains that shields them from being tarnished with the brush that stains them as being a criminals.
Attributing to the coffers of the drug dealer is a issue that enhances crime throughout this country.
Random Drug checks should be administered throughout these services as to set the example of good behavior to others who up hold the law.
I would say throughout Britain there are some 30.000 individuals who are buying some form of illegal substance because of there habits on a weekly basis. And are within these services.
Mr David Peet what is your intentions regarding this matter.”

“DB, the absence of dissent on a particular issue does not mean that one agrees with the policy. I am sure that you are aware of that. To allege that someone agrees with a particular point because they have not explicitly stated that they do not is wrong-headed and intellectually bankrupt. As for your point about the issue of money and politically motivated jobs, you will have to look to the Tories for your answer. After all, it is they that introduced this idea at all and the coalition that voted for the legislation that allows for these appointments. But I note that you are the one who tried to make this issue of appointments a party political issue in the first place by attacking Labour's appointments and theirs only. it shows you up for what you are. And your cheap shot at stating that this is a Derby issue indicates that you suffer from parochialism only for the benefit of bashing Labour. It is nationwide.”

“Madbadger, you disagree with everyone on this topic, that includes people who were against Police and Crime Commissioners, I have not found any comments by you that show that you disagree with what we have, therefore you must agree with what is, after all, a coalition policy.
Come on tell us that you think that this is a waste of money and that the tax payer is paying for unwanted politically motivated jobs and here in Derby that have been filled by local Labour politicians. Remember this is all about Derby and wgat Derby's council tax payers are paying for.”

“Madbadger, as Dianae says, at best 36% of the electorate voted for a Police and Crimes Commissioner. I am sure they welcome your unfaltering support, but I did not realise that you support the coalition government's policies!”

“DB, isn't the criticism you make of the expenditure that you mention just as applicable to other political parties that has elected PCCs? And even independents. And even those, like your favourite, that did not get any elected at all, eh...Thing is, those that like to claim that they are outside the party politics of the big three are doing exactly the same sorts of things. It could even be the hypocrites who claim to be against the EU but yet take the EU shilling.”

“The Labour party was opposed to Police and Crime Commissioners because they say they are a waste of money. It did not stop them from fielding candidates and look what they do when they get hold of the purse strings - SPEND, SPEND SPEND! And create lots of public funded non-jobs for their friends.
Let us not forget the deputy Police Commissioner is a Labour Councillor who lives at Allestree but represents Normanton, and is now collecting two pay packets!”

“Does anyone know if this post or an equivalent existed before the Tory-inspired introduction of PCCs? If people who have posted here don't know, what is their point?”
