They may not ignore it, but we could end up with a situation where officers investigating a crime that's already happened are pulled off it prematurely.
BTW, if the Police force have to "just have regard for his policies", doesn't that mean they do not have to implement them? Surely if they don't have to implement the policies, that means the commissioner would just be an extra layer of beurocracy, that wouldn't achieve much apart from costing the Police time, and the taxpayer millions of pounds (nationally) a year?
