David Lloyd has been Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire since 2012. His focus has been on delivering effective and efficient policing, supporting victims, promoting partnership working and delivering on the public’s priorities.
He believes in evidence-based policing and is studying a postgraduate degree in Criminology at the University of Cambridge to develop his thoughts on this.
David is recognised for the pioneering work he has done in developing and improving support services for victims of crime. The Beacon Victim Service, which he launched, has received national recognition.
In addition, he has campaigned for reform of the wider criminal justice system, arguing that the agencies involved need to work more closely together to provide a better service to the public and in particular to the victims of crime. He chairs the Hertfordshire Criminal Justice Board and is using that position to encourage collaboration and develop a change programme.
At national level, David Lloyd has been a leading member of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners since its foundation and served both as a board member and chairman of the organisation. He has been an influential participant in many of the key national debates in the public safety arena and has served on a range of bodies including the government’s Serious Violence Taskforce.
He is currently a member of the National Criminal Justice Board and is a past chair of the Police Reform and Transformation Board.
