North Yorkshire Police - Delivering modern policing in a traditional way

This page contains contact and biographical details of all NYPA's members.

North Yorkshire Police Authority members are entitled to claim an allowance for the work that they carry out for the Authority. In addition, members are also able to claim for mileage or public transport when attending Authority meetings or attending an event on behalf of the Authority. Allowances are also payable for other people appointed to specific work within the Authority, such as Independent Member Selection Panels and Police Misconduct Panels. The allowance scheme sets out the allowances payable in all these cases, which are updated each April in accordance with the annual pay award to Police Staff Council employees. Councillor Members of NYPA are supplied with computers, printers and internet access by their nominating councils as part of their duties as elected members. Independent Members of NYPA are supplied with this equipment by the Police Authority, if required.

Records of attendances at meetings by members are kept by the support unit and reported annually in June to the Authority. No account is taken in these figures for essential reading, training, preparation time or informal link member meetings. Each individual member attendance is shown on their page, this gives you the overview of all member attendance.

This describes how the 9 Councillor members and the 8 Independent Members of NYPA are appointed.
