==Police and Crime Commissioner== On 15 November 2012, Bourne was elected as Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex Police during the [[2012 England and Wales Police and Crime Commissioner elections|England and Wales Police and Crime Commissioner elections]]. She won the election with a majority of 24,426 over the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] candidate.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sussex PCC election: Conservative Katy Bourne wins vote|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-20346180|publisher=[[BBC]]|date=17 November 2012}}</ref> She was then appointed as director to the board of the national [[College of Policing]] in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|title=Police and Crime Commissioners, one year on: warts and all|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/police-and-crime-commissioners-one-year-on-warts-and-all|publisher=[[British Government]]|date=13 November 2014}}</ref>
One of her first initiatives as Police and Crime Commissioner, was the "tweetathon" on Twitter, with the [[BBC]] reporting that the reporting of domestic violence rose by more than 50% during a police Twitter campaign to highlight the issue of people not reporting the crime.<ref>{{cite web|title=Domestic violence reports increase during Sussex 'tweetathon'|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-20739445|publisher=[[BBC]]|date=15 December 2012}}</ref> The work in this field of crime, led to the [[Sussex]] police force becoming the first in England to be awarded a White Ribbon status, as part of the [[White Ribbon Campaign]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Sussex Police get domestic violence award|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-sussex-23395031|publisher=[[BBC]]|date=21 July 2013}}</ref>
During her tenure as the Crime Commissioner for Sussex Police, Bourne achieved a number of goals. Between June 2012 and June 2013, [[Sussex]] crime statistics stated that overall crime had fallen by 7% in the county. Some crimes such as commercial robbery had a slight increase, but overall there were very few specific rises.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Roberts|first1=Anna|title=Crime falls by 7% in Sussex but burglaries are on the up|url=http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10748050.Crime_falls_by_7__in_Sussex_but_buglaries_are_on_the_up/?ref=mmpg|publisher=[[Brighton Argus]]|date=18 October 2013}}</ref> The rise in burglaries led to the immediate announcement of "Operation Magpie" in late June 2013. The crackdown included roadside checks, in an attempt to disrupt any criminal gangs movements and also a voluntary tag for previous offenders, to rule them out of police investigations.<ref>{{cite web|title=Burglary crack down after break-ins rise|url=http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/topic/operation-magpie/|publisher=[[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]|date=28 June 2013}}</ref> As part of the strategy to tackle crime, Bourne set-up a fund worth £200,000, allowing community groups to apply for grants up to £5,000 to help prevent crime.<ref>{{cite web|title=Safer in Sussex|url=http://crowboroughlife.com/safer-in-sussex-363/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160418060101/http://crowboroughlife.com/safer-in-sussex-363/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=18 April 2016|publisher=Crowborough Life|date=14 February 2014}}</ref> While many counties were cutting staff during 2013, Bourne announced in the Chichester Oberserver that recruitment had begun for 120 volunteer police in [[Sussex]],<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gardner|first1=Bill|title=Sussex Police hires 120 volunteer police officers|url=http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10638247.Sussex_Police_hires_120_volunteer_police_officers/|publisher=[[The Argus (Brighton)|The Argus]]|date=28 August 2013}}</ref> and also 60 additional PCSOs.<ref>{{cite web|title=New PCSO recruitment opens for Sussex Police|url=http://www.chichester.co.uk/news/local/new-pcso-recruitment-opens-for-sussex-police-1-5751359|work=Chicester Observer|date=16 December 2013}}</ref>
In 2014, Bourne introduced a new study to measure public confidence in the [[Sussex Police]]. This included more than 2,000 young people aged between 15 and 24, which was reported by the [[BBC]] as a strategy to engage with young people by the Police force.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sussex young people asked for views on police and crime|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-26365602|publisher=[[BBC]]|date=1 March 2014}}</ref> During the same year, an initiative was launched to help victims of crime at a cost of £1.8 million.<ref>{{cite web|title=New £1.8m contract to support victims of crime|url=http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/county-news/new-1-8m-contract-to-support-victims-of-crime-1-6390036|publisher=Sussex Express|date=31 October 2014|access-date=5 April 2016|archive-date=19 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160419103215/http://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/county-news/new-1-8m-contract-to-support-victims-of-crime-1-6390036|url-status=dead}}</ref> Bourne was also successful in securing £250,000 in extra funding for young victims of serious sexual crimes.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Hawthorne|first1=Clarissa|title=PCC secures extra funding for young victims of serious sexual crime (3 July 2014)|url=http://www.sussex-pcc.gov.uk/news/pcc-secures-extra-funding-for-young-victims-of-serious-sexual-crime/|publisher=Sussex Police Force|date=3 July 2014}}</ref>
Bourne spoke at a meeting in [[Brighton]] about a number of issues in October 2014, including highway legislation. She suggested in passing that a cyclist could wear a form of identification, so the few that broke highway laws could be easily identified.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.itv.com/news/2014-10-09/cyclists-should-wear-identification-similar-to-number-plates-police-commissioner-says |title=Cyclists should wear identification similar to number plates, police commissioner says |author=<!--Not stated-->|date=October 9, 2014 |website=ITV News |publisher=|access-date=2024-05-07|quote=}}</ref> The article lead to a number of remarks in the British media that she had suggested that cyclists should use number plates, something that was untrue. Her comments resulted in an interview with [[The Guardian]] in late 2014 where she stated, "I believed that cyclists should have some form of identification. Now what that identification is, I don't know."<ref>{{Cite news |title=Police commissioner proposes ID for cyclists - but can't explain why or how |url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2014/oct/09/police-commissioner-proposes-id-for-cyclists-but-cant-explain-why-or-how |last=Walker |first=Peter |work=The Guardian |date=9 October 2014 |access-date=31 October 2014}}</ref>
Throughout 2014 and 2015, Bourne called regular performance and accountability meetings (PAMs) to measure the performance of [[Sussex Police]]. A number of improvements were made to 101 non-emergency call handling and burglary dwelling performance across throughout the two reported years. Satisfaction of police forces in the United Kingdom fell to an average of 80.4%, with [[Sussex Police]] achieving 93% in the same period.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sussex PCC quizzes police on domestic abuse|url=http://www.chichester.co.uk/news/local/sussex-pcc-quizzes-police-on-domestic-abuse-1-6039412|work=Chicester Observer|date=5 May 2014}}</ref> Due to budgetary cuts from central government, police forces were asked to find innovative ways of saving.

[[Sussex]] police announced in 2015 that it would be one of the first forces in the United Kingdom to implement an [[Mobile app|app]] to assist with the reporting of hate crimes. The app could be used to record evidence of hate crimes as they happen. During the speech at the launch of the app, Bourne stated that she hoped this would allow people to report more hate crimes, something the [[Sussex]] police force felt at the time was under-reported.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sussex Police launch hate crime reporting app|url=http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2015-10-13/sussex-police-launch-hate-crime-reporting-app/|publisher=[[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]|date=13 October 2015}}</ref> In late 2015, it was announced that Bourne would be running for re-election as the [[Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Katy Bourne says she will stand again for PCC post|url=http://www.eastbourneherald.co.uk/news/local/katy-bourne-says-she-will-stand-again-for-pcc-post-1-6422423|work=[[Eastbourne Herald]]|date=20 November 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Millard|first1=Rachel|title=Young people and police need to get on better, commission finds|url=http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/13787655.Young_people_and_police_need_to_get_on_better__commission_finds/|publisher=[[The Argus (Brighton)|The Argus]]|date=28 September 2015}}</ref>

Following the government's announcement of plans to house 500 male asylum seekers in an army camp in [[Crowborough]], in November 2025, Bourne attended a protest march which locals had organised against the plans. In January 2026, in relation to her attendance at the march, the Sussex Police and Crime Panel voted, in a motion tabled by [[Green Party of England and Wales|Green Party]] councillor Paul Keene, in favour of censuring her for bringing her office into disrepute. Bourne, who said she was "so disgusted" at the motion, said that she will lodge a harassment complaint with the monitoring officer for the panel. Bourne said that her "job is to be the voice of the public on policing. That's exactly what I have been doing in this instance" and that she is "not going to be cancelled just because I am saying something that is absolutely my job to do."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9y7geenr4o|work=BBC News|title=Police panel says it has 'lost confidence' in PCC|first=Patrick|last=Barlow|date=30 January 2026|access-date=30 January 2026}}</ref>
