The biggest priority will be the budget, and as this will have to be put in place fairly quickly; expectations will be high, but it is inevitable that the newly elected PCC will inherit much of the Police Authority's budget and will have to control those expectations. The wise candidate will have to balance raising hopes in the election with the realistic expectations of what can be achieved in the first 90 days.
Jam tomorrow would be the flavour of the day and I would (If Successful) announce in the first week, reviews of Force Procurement, Human Resources and Asset Management with reports coming back by March 2013, this will give some momentum. Also the Successful PCC will have to think of Deputy Commissioners and the team around them, hopefully the successful candidate will have firm ideas of who they want.
A lot of these issues should be aired in the campaign debates, the electorate in Sussex are a sophisticated lot and there are plenty of retired businessmen and woman in Sussex that will hold the Candidates feet to the fire, if successful in the nomination I will relish the challenge.
