North Wales Police Authority is one of 43 police authorities in England and Wales which oversees the work of its local Police Force. It is an independent body made up of local people. Together with the Home Secretary and chief police officers, it is responsible for the management of policing in North Wales.
The Police Authority makes sure the local Police Force is efficient and effective and seeks to improve policing performance and standards. Its job is to make sure local people have a say in how their area is policed and to hold the Chief Constable to account for the services delivered.
The Authority also sets the force budget and decides how much money to raise towards the cost of policing through the local council tax. |
