http://www.norfolk-pa.gov.uk A police authority is an independent body made up of local people. Together with the Home Secretary and chief police officers, police authorities are responsible for the management of policing in England and Wales. Police authorities make sure that you have an efficient and effective local police force. There is a police authority for each local police force - 43 in England and Wales – plus additional police authorities for British Transport Police, Civil Nuclear Police, and a Police Committee for the Ministry of Defence. In Northern Ireland the police authority is called the Policing Board, but it has a similar role to police authorities in England and Wales. Police authorities make sure local people have a say in how they are policed and they hold the chief police officer to account for the services the police force deliver to local people. Police authorities also set the police force budget and decide how much money to raise towards the cost of policing through the local council tax.
