The Panel has the role of scrutinising the performance of the Police and Crime Commissioner and will challenge and support the PCC’s activities over a range of policy areas, including the delivery of the Police and Crime Plan.
The Panel will also have a role in the handling of complaints against the PCC and the confirmation of key staff posts within the Office of the PCC.
The Panel comprises elected members of local authorities across Suffolk, working alongside two people who are independent co-opted members. Together, the Panel members should reflect the breadth of communities in Suffolk.
