Governance

Governance is about how Police Authorities ensure that they are doing the right things, in the right way, for the right people, in a timely, inclusive, open and accountable manner. It comprises the systems, processes, culture and values by which organisations are directed and controlled, and through which they account to, engage with and, where appropriate, lead their communities.

The Code of Corporate Governance describes how Norfolk Police Authority discharges its responsibilities in this respect, and particularly its two overarching statutory responsibilities:

• To secure an efficient and effective local police service;
• To hold to account the Chief Constable for the exercise of his functions and those of persons under his direction and control.
