Budget Meeting, Surrey Police and Crime Panel - Monday, 3 February 2025 10.30 am

The Surrey Police and Crime Panel met to discuss the appointment of a co-opted independent member, the draft Police and Crime plan 2025-28, the Surrey Police group financial report, and the proposed Surrey Police precept for 2025-26. The panel approved the appointment of Mrs. Samantha Sheriff as a co-opted independent member. The draft Police and Crime plan was reviewed and debated, but not formally adopted, and a letter summarising the panel's views will be sent to the Police and Crime Commissioner by 8 February 2025. The panel noted the financial report, which showed a small underspend on revenue and a larger underspend on capital. The panel did not endorse the Police and Crime Commissioner's proposed precept of £14, but it also declined to veto it.
