There'll be an election for a new police, fire and crime commissioner for North Yorkshire at the end of next month with an interim appointment expected at a meeting next week.
The North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Panel will meet on Thursday 4th November, when the main item of business will be to consider the appointment of an Acting Commissioner from the staff of the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.
An election for the Commissioner vacancy is expected to be held on 25th November, so the Panel will be looking to appoint an Acting Commissioner to undertake the role in the intervening three weeks.
Previous commissioner Phillip Allott resigned from his post, two weeks ago, after criticism from fellow panellists following comments made in the media relating to how women can protect themselves in the aftermath of the Sarah Everard murder.
The meeting will be held at North Yorkshire Police Headquarters and North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Headquarters at Alverton Court in Northallerton, at 2.30pm. It is intended that the meeting will be livestreamed and broadcast. There will be limited capacity for the press and public to attend this meeting. To ensure that the Panel can maintain a safe capacity in terms of Covid-19 precautions, anyone interested in attending in person is asked to contact the Panel in advance via nypcp@northyorks.gov.uk.
Cllr Carl Les, chair of the Panel, said:
“Although the period for an interim Commissioner will only be a matter of weeks, it is important that the residents of York and North Yorkshire know that a person will be in post, holding the Chief Constable and Chief Fire Officer to account, and also being accountable to the community through the Panel.”
