Alison is the Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner for the people of Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
Alison Hernandez was first elected as Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in May 2016, effectively to hold the Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police to account for the performance of the force on behalf of the communities we all serve.
She is responsible for setting the strategic direction and priorities for Devon and Cornwall Police via the police and crime plan. This includes setting the police budget (£315 million) and local police precept (the amount residents pay for policing in their council tax). Overseeing the largest investment in policing in a decade.
Since Alison took office Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly became the second lowest crime rate area in England and Wales but complacency has not set in.
Alison will return to the polls on 2 May 2024.
