Co-opted Independent Member of Cleveland Police and Crime Panel

Cleveland Police and Crime Panel is looking for two committed and energetic people who either live or work within the Cleveland Force Area to serve as co-opted independent members from February 2025 for a four year term.

The Panel is part of the governance and accountability arrangements for policing in the Cleveland force area. The Panel's role is to maintain a regular check and balance on the performance of the directly elected Police and Crime Commissioner.

The role of a panel member is an important and demanding one. The typical commitment required from a panel member is to attend and prepare for a minimum of four formal meetings a year with the possibility of attending additional sub-committees, task and finish groups and other training and development opportunities.

Meetings are generally held in the late afternoons or early evenings at varying locations throughout the force area. All panel members will be able to claim reasonable travelling and subsistence expenses. All panel members will receive induction and other appropriate training.
