Policing the police: Commissioner elections
On Thursday 15th of November we go to the polls to vote for Englands first Police and Crime Commissioners.
Their jobs will be to hold Chief Constables to account and help set crime priorities in your area. They'll also decide how much we pay for the police in our Council Tax bills.
But there are worries that this change hasn't been thought through and that turnout in the elections will be low. Luke Farrington reports.
