The West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is David Jamieson.

The PCC has an over-arching duty to secure an effective and efficient police force.  The PCC has three main roles, which are to:

• Set the priorities for policing
• Decide the budget for West Midlands Police
• Hold the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police to account

The PCC subsidises half the cost of RJ within the West Midlands.
