The question is, quite how do you decide about a police person, how
do you know they are all competent and do they actually do anything.

By checking if the current one up for re-election has done a decent
job so far by checking the stats on crimes charged and convicted etc.

The PCCs job is strategy, not operation

But it's the strategy that determines the outcomes.

Stats on charges and convictions tell you very little about whether (s)he
has done a good job in the past

It does tell you what outcomes have been achieved particularly
when you consider improvements in outcomes.
