The office of the Police and Crime Commissioner
27. As set out by the Police Reform and Social Responsibility
Act 2011, Police and Crime Commissioners' salaries were determined
by the Home Secretary on the advice of the Senior Salaries Review
Board. The Government has allowed PCCs a considerable degree of
laissez-faire in setting up their own offices, saying that "we
do not intend to prescribe what support PCCs should have, other
than the appointment of a head of paid staff and chief finance
officer".[14]
The money for PCCs' offices is drawn from the same funds
as the overall policing budget for the area. It goes without saying
that all appointments to these vital roles should be subject to
rigorous background checks.
28. For comparison, we set out chief constables'
pay in Annex 2.
29. PCCs are required to appoint a Chief Executive
and a Chief Finance Officer in order to assist them in the fulfilment
of their responsibilities. The reported salaries of CEOs range
widely from £61,530 in Durham to £117,762 in West Yorkshire.
PCCs are also at liberty to appoint other staff, on merit, as
appropriate. We note the Government's stated intentions for the
neutrality and objectivity of PCCs' staff:
Whilst the PCC will be able to appoint staff to advise
and assist them, all staff must be appointed on merit and will
be politically restricted posts. Party political office holders
and active party members will not be able to be appointed to the
PCC's staff.[15]
30. However, the position of Deputy is not a
politically restricted post. Some PCCs have consequently recruited
political or personal contacts:
- In Greater Manchester the PCC
has appointed his former constituency worker, Clare Regan, as
his Policy Adviser without advertising the role.
- In Northamptonshire the PCC appointed three interim
Assistant Commissioners on £65,000 each, two of whom were
in his campaign team. The roles have been made permanent after
an open recruitment process.
- The Labour PCC for West Midlands Police, has
appointed three Assistant Commissioners on £22,500 each.
All are Labour councillors.[16]
- The PCC for Kent has appointed her Liberal Democrat
campaign manager with no apparent policing experience as an adviser
with a salary of over £70,000.
- The PCC for Surrey has appointed a former colleague
in the Metropolitan Police as his deputy, with a salary of £50,000.
- The PCC for West Yorkshire has appointed Isabel
Owen as Deputy PCC with a wage of £53,000 a year. She is
a former Labour parliamentary candidate with no policing experience.
The role was only advertised to Labour Party colleagues.

31. We note that a number of Police and Crime
Commissioners are maintaining other roles and jobs alongside their
commitments as PCC. Kevin Hurley, the PCC for Surrey on a salary
of £70,000, told us that alongside his role as PCC he was
a private landlord, Director of Inspirational Security Solutions
Ltd and Director of JK Chinese Healthcare Ltd. It will be for
voters to judge how able he is to maintain two directorships alongside
the role of PCC, but we are concerned about the apparent conflict
of interest between the office of PCC and a directorship in a
company that offers "to call upon a network of people with
proven abilities in their field of expertise" in areas including
"National and International Crime, including areas with l[a]w
enforcement".[20]
32. Several Police and Crime
Commissioners indicated to us that they would not be seeking re-election
to other offices, such as local councils. The three PCCs who gave
evidence to us attested to the severe demands on their time and
believed that juggling the office of PCC with other jobs would
be impossible. On the other hand, other Police and Crime Commissioners
are retaining second jobs such as directorships of large companies,
which may not easily be compatible with a full time and demanding
office.
Costs to the public
33. The precept is the portion of council tax
contributed to funding the local police force. The level of the
precept is now set by Police and Crime Commissioners. For 2013-14,
the Government has offered areas that set a 0% increase in the
police precept an additional one-off grant equal to a council
tax rise of 1%.

34. The 2013/14 budget is the first set
by police and crime commissioners themselves. This entails substantial
new responsibilities. For example, nine Home Office funding streamsfor
drugs, crime and community safetywere replaced on 1 April
2013 by the Community Safety Fund, a budget for PCCs to commission
services in these areas. In
order to ensure that PCCs allocate their budgets effectively and
fairly and that OPCC budgets continue to be comparable across
the country, we recommend that the Government publishes a list
of the costs of each OPCC compared with previous years.
