Securing outstanding policing for local people
Members' Allowances
Section 107 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 deregulates the payment of Members’ allowances – but not expenses – to police authorities. It also makes provision for police authorities to make payments to the Lay/Independent Members’ on their Standards Committee.
Humberside Police Authority's scheme is based on the principles of the guidance issued by the APA’s Independent Panel and the scheme originally introduced on 1 December 2001.
Members agreed the current Scheme at the AGM on 19 June 2007. Click here to view the report that was submitted to this meeting.
Humberside Police Authority's current Allowances Scheme came into effect on 1 July 2007 and may be amended from time to time. Any changes will be published before they take effect.
The current basic allowance is £8,993 per member. Members who have special responsibilities are entitled to receive a special responsibility allowance:

(* It was agreed by the Police Authority on 29 June 2010 that the allowance for Vice Chair would be £13,490 except where the member was also a Chair of a Standing Committee when it would be £17,987.)
