The South Yorkshire Police and Crime Panel is an independent body that supports and scrutinises the work of the South Yorkshire Mayor, acting as Police and Crime Commissioner. It ensures policing priorities, performance, and decisions are transparent and accountable to local communities.
The Panel reviews the Mayor's proposed budget and council tax precept, monitors performance, considers key appointments, and offers constructive feedback to improve policing and community safety across South Yorkshire. The public can submit written questions to the Mayor or Panel in advance of meetings.
