Selection Panel

The Selection Panel plays a crucial role in the successful outcome of the process of selecting Independent Members of Police Authorities. In carrying out their role Selection Panels make a contribution to the more effective policing of North Wales; to the reduction of crime, and to greater satisfaction on the part of local people in the service they receive from the Force and the Police Authority.

Membership of the Panel

The Selection Panel consists of five Members. Three Members are appointed by the Police Authority, one is appointed by the Home Secretary and the fifth Member of the Panel is an Independent Assessor who is jointly appointed by the other Panel Members. Appointments can be for up to 5 years or while the post holders hold office.

The following are disqualified from being a Selection Panel Member: employees of police authorities; employees of councils which nominate members to the Police Authority; those that are bankrupt; or have committed a criminal offence; are under 18; or a member of a police force. Additionally, police authority nominees to the Selection Panel are disqualified if they do not live or work in the area of the Police Authority, and have not done so for the last 12 months.
