POLICE AND CRIME PANEL
The role of South Yorkshire Police and Crime Panel is to scrutinise the actions, decisions and performance of the South Yorkshire Mayor in relation to the discharge of their police and crime functions. The Panel also provide both support and constructive challenge to ensure that the Mayor meets the needs of all the communities they have been elected to serve.
The Panel consists of 10 councillors drawn from each of the four local authorities in the South Yorkshire police area plus three independent co-opted members, drawn from the local community.
It is the Panel’s job to make sure that the Mayor makes decisions in the best interest of the public, including decisions about what priorities are in the Police and Crime Plan, how much the policing precept should be, and the recruitment and dismissal of the Chief Constable.
