She campaigned for election using the slogan “Make Notts Safe” and promised to “reduce crime with action, not words”.
To be fair, she has. She's personally ensured that there is one less speeding motorist on the roads.

..speed limit unless you are a poilce and crime commissioner.

A judge moved to explain to repentant speeding crime boss Caroline Henry just why there are speed limits on our roads. The "truly sorry" 52-year-old mum, who argued she needed her car to commute to see her children, was delivered the long arm of the law on Monday, July 18.
She was handed a fine of £490 on each of the five speeding offences she committed across Nottinghamshire over the course of just four months. On what has been one of the hottest days of the year, she left court on Monday (July 18) with a total fine of £2,450, an order to pay a victim surcharge of £190, prosecution costs, and a six-month driving ban.
Her licence will now carry 15 fresh penalty points. Henry, of Orchil Street, Giltbrook - who is paid more than £76,000 per year for her role which includes scrutinising the performance of Nottinghamshire Police - was sentenced by Judge Leo Pyle at Nottingham Magistrates' Court.
He told her as she stood before him: "Speed limits are sited, to say this to punish the myth, not at places they can accrue maximum amounts in funds but for safety reasons." He reminded her she committed five offences of speeding. He said: "What they show is that you were driving at consistent speeds above the speed limit.
"What I haven't been told is, why? Whether it was to attend a work meeting or meet in your private time? Whether for work or private, you must allow time to get to your destination safely and comply with speed restrictions." He said she had recognised that, in terms of work and attending to one of her children, who lives in another area, she can manage albeit it with "inconvenience".
The court heard on five occasions Henry was captured speeding in a car over the 30mph limit. She admitted being the driver. The court was told Ms Henry, who was elected to the post in May 2021, was caught speeding in a blue Mercedes and a silver Lexus with a personalised number plate at four locations in Nottingham in March, May and June last year.
On her official PCC website, Henry, listed ensuring an “effective and efficient” police response to speeding as one of her priorities. She campaigned for election using the slogan “Make Notts Safe” and promised to “reduce crime with action, not words”.
