BY referring in her article in last week’s Journal to Wiltshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner as a “political appointee” Annie Riddle is simply wrong.
Police commissioners are elected by democratic popular vote. They are not “appointed”.
In Wiltshire Angus McPherson has fought – and won – two electoral contests.

Chairman, Wiltshire and Swindon Police and Crime Panel
