Police Authority Agenda - 26 May 2010

A meeting of the Police Authority will take place at the SHIRE HALL, WARWICK on MONDAY 26 MAY 2010 at 10am.

1. Election of Chair

Members are reminded that Regulation 12(4) of the Police Authority Regulations requires any Member wishing to be considered for appointment as Chair of the Police Authority to have submitted a statement setting out the reasons why he/she wished to be so considered not less than 10 days before the annual meeting.  Only 1 such statement has been received from Ian Francis to that effect within the required timescale.  No further nominations can therefore be considered for the position of Chair.
