There are 43 Police Authorities in England and Wales, each of which oversees the work of its local police force.
Police Authorities are independent bodies made up of local people. Together with the Home Secretary and chief police officers, they are responsible for the management of policing in England and Wales.
The Derbyshire Police Authority is made up of 17 members: seven county councillors, two city councillors and eight independent members.
The Councillor members of the Police Authority are appointed by their respective local authority (Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council) on an annual basis.
The representation of political parties on the Police Authority is based on the number of seats for the county and city area as a whole.
Following the Derbyshire County Council elections in June 2009, this resulted in the following political make up of the Police Authority: - 4 Conservative
- 3 Labour
- 2 Liberal Democrat
As from 1st October 2008, Lay Justices were not included as a class of member of the Police Authority, which means there are now nine councillor members and eight independent members.
The independent members are appointed by the Police Authority under the terms of the Police Authority Regulations 2008 (regulation 9) following a selection process involving an Independent Selection Panel, including representatives from the police authority and the Home Secretary, together with an independent assessor selected by the previously referred to persons from a list approved by the Home Secretary.
Independent members are appointed for four years.
