Call for more power to investigate crime commissionerspublished at 12:37 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2018
Local Democracy Reporting ServiceCouncil leaders in North Yorkshire have urged the government to empower police watchdogs to properly investigate and hold elected police and crime commissioners (PCC) to account.
Image source, PCC North YorkshirePolicing minister Nick Hurd has been told "a gap in legislation" became apparent during an inquiry into the behaviour of the North Yorkshire's commissioner towards members of her staff.
County Council leader Carl Les and Hambleton District Council deputy, Peter Wilkinson, said they'd been compelled to highlight the limited powers available to deal effectively with complaints.
The move comes just weeks after allegations Julia Mulligan subjected staff to "bullying behaviour" were upheld by the county's Police and Crime Panel.
Mrs Mulligan said at the time she was "shocked" at both the panel's approach and findings and if she could appeal the decision she would.
She's been given until November 14 to respond to report recommendations that she undertake management training and uses a mentor to support her.
In a letter to the minister, the councillors said the panel found it difficult to conduct a thorough inquiry into the allegations and said the lack of power to investigate had "significant implications."
They said it had not been possible to "fully test the evidence."
