[1] One of Longmore's first acts as PCC was to give his backing to an alliance with the neighbouring Warwickshire Police Force enabling them to pool services and make budgetary savings of £30.3 million.

[4] Longmore attracted controversy in December 2012 after appointing his former campaign manager, Barrie Sheldon, to the post of deputy PCC, despite advice to the contrary from Worcestershire County Council's Police and Crime Commission Panel, which felt there should be more competition for the position.

[10] Following the rejection of the no confidence vote Longmore said that he would put forward a proposal that future PCC candidates name the person they intend to select as their deputy as part of their campaign for office.

[9][11] On 7 July 2016, newly elected PCC John Campion appointed Tracey Onslow, a fellow Conservative councillor, to the post of Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner.

[14] In October 2018, Campion announced an end to the strategic alliance his predecessor had formed with Warwickshire Police to help pool costs, and which had attracted national acclaim.
