Nepotism Or Not Nepotism?

Reading Time: 3 minutes That is the question…… Some of you will know that I was going to stand for the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia until Call Me Dave and the Cabinet Office tilted the playing field against Independent candidates. Many of you will know that I subsequently applied for the position of Deputy Police and […]

Is This A Strange Way To Record Accounts/Expenses?

Reading Time: 2 minutes During the run-up to the recent Police And Crime Commissioner Elections I noticed what I thought was a disparity in the incumbent North Yorkshire PCC’s published expenses. In 2013 it included an entry for >£10,000 for ACPO fees.  As PCCs are not members of ACPO so should not pay membership fees (Association of PCCs fees
