Today is the turn of Matthew Barber, the current deputy PCC. He believes he is the best fit for the role having worked as current PCC Anthony Stansfeld’s right-hand man for several years already. Mr Barber also reveals why he won’t be hiring his own deputy if he is elected into the role next month. We asked him 10 questions, and this is what he said:
1. What is your name? Matthew Barber I live in West Hanney
3. Why do you want to be police and crime commissioner? Because I think it is an incredibly important role in making a difference to policing. I have got a plan that can make a difference to our community. I don’t think of it as an automatic stepping stone [from deputy to PCC]. It’s not just career progression but I see it as an important role that can have a big impact and I can use my experience as the deputy.

SIR – My son’s partner works in a care home with 40 residents. The other day it got a call to say that vaccinations were available if they could make themselves ready in an hour. They did.
Some of the residents have dementia but, while getting things ready, staff managed to persuade 32 of the 40 to have the jab.
My son’s partner stayed on after the end of her shift and took pictures of herself with each of the 40 residents, which she sent to the families with an explanation of what had happened.
