Police and crime commissioners

Police and crime commissioners are elected by the public to ensure the policing needs of communities are met as effectively as possible and to oversee how crime is tackled in your police force area.

Ann Griffith

A STRONG VOICE FOR VICTIMS AND FOR JUSTICE

My name is Ann Griffith and I am the Plaid Cymru candidate for the role of North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner.
 

Appointed by Arfon Jones as his Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner, I was responsible for Children and Young People, Modern Slavery, Domestic Abuse, Women and justice, Professional standards and Anti-corruption.
 

I’ve worked for 40 years as a professional social worker/social work manager across north Wales in the public and voluntary sector with all vulnerable groups. I have worked alongside the police and the wider criminal justice system to support victims of crime.
 

Victims of crime explain to me they feel unsupported and let down. My life experience, knowledge, skills and values mean I understand and commit to improving the criminal justice system for all.
 

If you elect me I will focus on preventing crime and re-offending by increasing police visibility and accessibility, early intervention and deterrence and the use of innovative problem-solving initiatives to tackle anti-social behaviour.
 

I will closely scrutinise the police response to violence, coercive control and stalking towards women and girls, the criminal and sexual exploitation of children and vulnerable adults and serious and organised crime.
 

I’m currently an independent child protection consultant and executive coach and teach leadership to senior social care managers.
 

My leadership experience and track record of independence equips me to hold the Chief Constable to account, make North Wales Police more effective and efficient and ensure our rural and urban communities are safe to thrive.

Ann Griffith
