The Home Office does not collect data on expenses claimed by Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs).

Under paragraph 1 (d) of Schedule 1 of the Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) Order 2011 PCCs are obliged to publish "the allowances paid to each relevant office holder in respect of expenses incurred by the office holder in the exercise of the body’s functions".

Article 1(2) of the Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) Order 2011 PCCs defines "relevant office holder" as, where the elected local policing body is a police and crime commissioner, the commissioner and any deputy police and crime commissioner appointed by the commissioner.
