Police and Crime Panel Update

Councillor Roy Munn to report.

Minutes:

10.1

Councillor Roy Munn, who was a member of the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Panel, reported on the Police and Crime Panel meeting which was held on 19th March 2015.  At that meeting, Councillor Mazher Iqbal was appointed as Chair and there were no members of the public in attendance.  The Panel also considered the renewed Police and Crime Plan 2013/17, the aim of which was that South Yorkshire would be and feel a safe place to live, learn and work.  The Plan had three strategic priorities which were protecting vulnerable people, tackling crime and anti-social behaviour, and enabling fair treatment, and was victim focused.  There was also an emphasis on understanding vulnerability.  The Panel decided not to appoint a Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner and also considered its Work Programme.  In conclusion, Councillor Munn suggested that the Police and Crime Commissioner could be invited to a future meeting of the Committee.
