Nottinghamshire Police and Crime panel

The County Council is the host authority for the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Panel.

The Police and Crime Panel scrutinises the action and decision of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PPC) and makes sure information is available for the public.

Role of the panel

  • make reports and recommendations on the plan and annual report
  • publish all reports and recommendations that it makes
  • hold public meetings to discuss the annual report
  • ask for a professional hearing from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary
  • appoint an acting PCC if the elected one cannot carry out their role
