Quick Facts Reports to, Appointer ...

The PCC's official office is in Lloyd House, the West Midlands Police's headquarters, in Birmingham.^[2]

The PCC role was set to be abolished with effect from 7 May 2024, with its functions transferred to the Mayor of the West Midlands.^[3] However, PCC Simon Foster won a High Court judicial review of the decision, with Mr. Justice Swift saying "The home secretary did not, when consulting, provide sufficient information to permit an intelligent and informed response." A government spokesperson said permission to appeal would be sought. Foster said he expected an election would take place in May.^[4] The appeal was dismissed and the election is planned for 2 May.^[5]
