Police and Crime Panel
Description
The Police and Crime
Panel supports and challenges the Police and Crime Commissioner
(PCC). The panel has the power to request reports and call the PCC
to attend its meetings.
Panels will not
replace police authorities and will not have a role in scrutinising
the performance of the police force (that is the role of the
PCC).
The panel
will:
- review the police and
crime plan and annual report
- scrutinize (and
potentially veto) the PCC's proposed council tax precept* for
policing
- hold confirmation
hearings for the PCC's proposed appointment of a Chief Constable
and senior support staff (the panel may veto the Chief Constable
appointment)
- scrutinise the
actions and decisions of the Commissioner (but not the performance
of the police force)
- consider complaints
against the PCC of a non-criminal nature
*the money collected
from council tax for policing
