Accountability Board Meetings
Meetings of the Accountability Board began in 2022.
The Police and Crime Commissioner is responsible for holding the Chief Constable to account to ensure that the Constabulary support the delivery of the priorities detailed in the Police and Crime Plan and to meet all their statutory duties.
He does this in many ways including Accountability Board meetings.
