Police and Crime Commissioner (Canada)

In the Canadian Republic, a Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC; French: Commissionnaire de la police et du crime, CPC) is an indirectly elected civilian official who is responsible for supervising a police board, which acts as the civilian oversight body and employer of a particular local law enforcement agency within Canada's twelve provinces. Such agencies answer to the respective province's Attorney General via their PCC.

For example, Koby Braidek is the incumbent Police and Crime Commissioner of the Lower Mainland, to whom Chief Constable Anthony Allison Milo of the Lower Mainland Constabulary (LMC) is answerable.

PCCs regularly meet with the Attorney General of their province and sometimes even the premier of the province, thus providing an invaluable link between the management of a local constabulary and the provincial government and political apparatus.
