    Item 1 2 Friday, 11 th March, 2016 Samantha Wilkinson 01924 305310 Halifax Town Hall Panel Arrangements and Rules of Conduct of Business 1. Purpose 1.1 To amend the Panel’s Procedures and Protocols in relation to the consideration of complaints against the Police and Crime Commissioner and his/her Deputy in line with legislation. 2. Background 2.1 Following the introduction of Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, and the establishment of Police and Crime Panels, each Police and Crime Panel is required to make its own rules of procedure for the panel. At its inaugural meeting back in 2012, the Police and Crime Panel agreed a set of Procedures and Protocols for the conduct of its business. These Procedures and Protocols are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that they remain fit for purpose for the discharge of the Panel’s functions. 2.2 During the process of considering complaints about the Commissioner, it has come to light that the Panel’s Procedures and Protocols are not clear regarding the narrow remit that the Panel has in only being able to consider complaints against the Police and Crime Commissioner and his/her Deputy. 2.3 The Panel’s original procedural rules were drafted at a time when the precise remit of the powers that would be given to PCPs was unclear. It was at that time anticipated that the PCC’s senior staff might be included in the PCP’s remit along with the PCP and the Deputy PCC. However, when the legislation was finalised, it transpired that this was not the case.
