Police commissioners, particularly new appointees, may exercise significant autonomy in their decision-making processes.
Autonomy in Decision-Making
According to a recent statement from a politician, a new commissioner operates independently, choosing not to adhere to the directives of political figures [00:00:29]. The politician noted, “the new commissioner doesn’t listen to any of us. He does whatever he wants” [00:00:29], [00:00:33]. This perspective highlights an aspect of the role and challenges of the police commissioner, suggesting a potential tension between political expectations and the commissioner’s operational independence.
