After delayed local elections in 2020 due to the pandemic, May 6 will bring a bumper batch of elections across England, Wales and Scotland. Citizens will elect 143 English local councils, 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament, 60 Members of the Welsh Senedd, 39 Police and Crime Commissioners, 25 London Assembly seats and 13 directly-elected mayors.

VERY GOOD. SEE REAL SECURITY IN PRACTICE. THE PEOPLE ELECT POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONERS NOT APPOINT OR SELECT THEM BY ONE BIG HEADED IDIOT CLAIMING CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS.

Election of police and crime commissioners in practise as dictated by constitutional powers.

The person appointing or selecting them by constitutional powers is exercising constitutional powers too, and if we do not like it we should aim to change the powers given by the constitution instead of not expecting the given powers to be exercised.

It's like you should not expect me to not steal, but put checks and procedures in place to make it impossible for me to steal, and if I do steal make the consequences so much that it is not worth my stealing. That is how UK evolved into what you admire today.
