Warwickshire Police Authority
What is a Police Authority?
Warwickshire Police Authority was created by the Police and Magistrates Court Act 1994 and came into existence on 1st April 1995 and constitutes an independent body made up of local people whose role is to work closely with our Chief Constable and his staff to make sure that the force delivers effective and efficient policing services and are publicly accountable for their actions.
The Role of Members
The Police Authority comprises seventeen appointed Members: nine County councillors and eight independent members. These appointees work in partnership with our Chief Constable to protect our communities from harm. In fulfilling this responsibility they:
- Monitor policing services
- Agree the overall police budget and policing priorities
- Issue a Policing Plan and an Annual Report
- Monitor complaints against the police
- Embed appropriate governance and internal audit arrangements
- Seek and represent the views of local people about the policing of their area
The Authority’s Responsibilities
In fulfilling a statutory role responsibilities include:
- Consulting local communities about their concerns and priorities
- Setting key objectives, performance measures and targets for local and national priorities
- Publishing a rolling three-year Policing Plan and year-end Annual Report
- Managing and participating in service reviews
- Setting the force’s annual budget
- Monitoring the way the force handles the complaints it receives from the general public
- Appointing our Chief Constable, Deputy and Assistant Chief Constables
- Dealing with complaints against our Chief Officers
- Publishing an annual governance statement which describes governance arrangements and confirms systems of internal control
- Identifying strategic risk and putting in place measures to counteract the impact and likelihood of risk
- Overseeing the force’s approach to risk, ensuring that plans are put in place to mitigate the risks faced
- Operating a Custody Visiting Scheme that independently checks on people detained in police cells
Responsibility for controlling operational policing and meeting the objectives and priorities set out in this Plan is vested in our Chief Constable.

Governance Statement
Warwickshire Police Authority
1. Governance is about how organisations ensure that they are doing the right things, in the right way, in an open manner. It comprises the systems, processes, culture and values by which organisations operate.
2. The Code of Corporate Governance describes how Warwickshire Police Authority discharges its responsibilities and particularly:
- To secure an efficient and effective local police service
- To hold to account the Chief Constable
The Chief Constable has a statutory responsibility for the control, direction and delivery of operational policing services.
3. The principles on which Warwickshire police authority governance is built are:
- Focusing on the purpose of the authority and on outcomes for the community and creating and implementing a vision for the local area
- Members and officers working together to achieve a common purpose with clearly defined functions and roles
- Promoting values for the authority and demonstrating the values of good governance through upholding high standards of conduct and behaviour
- Taking informed and transparent decisions which are subject to effective scrutiny and managing risk
- Developing the capacity and capability of members and officers to be effective
- Engaging with local people and other stakeholders to ensure robust public accountability
The full copy of the Code of Corporate Governance is available at….
Arrangements for Review of Governance
Each year, the Police Authority will review its arrangements and will consider whether changes need to be made. The review will identify actions to improve governance. An annual governance statement will be prepared as an outcome of the review. An action plan will be produced for any areas of governance requiring further work.

- Always treat you fairly with dignity and respect ensuring you have fair access to our services at a time that is reasonable and suitable for you
- Provide you with information so you know who your dedicated Neighbourhood Policing Team is, where they are based, how to contact them and how to work with them
- Ensure your Neighbourhood Policing Team and other police patrols are visible and on your patch at times when they will be most effective and when you tell us you most need them. We will ensure your team are not taken away from neighbourhood business more than is absolutely necessary. They will spend at least 80% of their time visibly working in your neighbourhood, tackling your priorities. Staff turnover will be minimised
- Respond to every message directed to your Neighbourhood Policing Team within 24 hours and, where necessary, provide a more detailed response as soon as we can
- Aim to answer 999 calls within 10 seconds, deploying to emergencies immediately giving an estimated time of arrival, getting to you safely, and as quickly as possible. In urban areas, we will aim to get to you within 10 minutes and in rural areas within 20 minutes
- Answer all non-emergency calls promptly. If attendance is needed, send a patrol giving you an estimated time of arrival and:
- If you are vulnerable or upset aim to be with you within 60 minutes
- If you are calling about an issue that we have agreed with your community will be a neighbourhood priority (listed below) and attendance is required, we will aim to be with you within 60 minutes
- Alternatively, if appropriate, we will make an appointment to see you at a time that fits in with your life and within 48 hours
- If agreed that attendance is not necessary we will give you advice, answer your questions and/or put you in touch with someone who can help
- Arrange regular public meetings to agree your priorities, at least once a month, giving you a chance to meet your local team with other members of your community. These will include opportunities such as surgeries, street briefings and mobile police station visits which will be arranged to meet local needs and requirements
- Provide monthly updates on progress, and on local crime and policing issues. This will include the provision of crime maps, information on specific crimes and what happened to those brought to justice, details of what action we and our partners are taking to make your neighbourhood safer and information on how your force is performing
- If you have been a victim of crime agree with you how often you would like to be kept informed of progress in your case and for how long. You have the right to be kept informed at least every month if you wish and for as long as is reasonable
- Acknowledge any dissatisfaction with the service you have received within 24 hours of reporting it to us. To help us fully resolve the matter, discuss with you how it will be handled, give you an opportunity to talk in person to someone about your concerns and agree with you what will be done about them and how quickly
