Birmingham Edgbaston MP Preet Kaur Gill spoke to Trish Adudu about the Government's decision to put West Midlands Police into special measures over failings when managing the risk to the public by sex offenders.

In response to the decision, West Midlands Mayor Andy Street said:

鈥淐onfidence in policing is absolutely mission critical, and I can understand why today鈥檚 announcement may have rocked that. That鈥檚 why I stand ready to work with the Chief Constable, the current PCC, and of course Government to help West Midlands Police get out of special measures and restore public confidence.

鈥淗owever we cannot ignore the fact that today鈥檚 news highlights serious concerns about the effectiveness of the Police & Crime Commissioner model to hold the force to account and drive out the necessary improvements. That鈥檚 why earlier this month I requested the transfer of PCC powers to the Mayor after May, and I believe that move to a single point of accountability has become even more important after today.鈥�
