Decision taken
To approve the provision of indemnity for Legally Qualified Chairs (LQCs) who chair Police Misconduct Panels. The agreed indemnity is as follows:
“The PCC indemnifies LQCs and independent panel members in respect of civil liability (including reasonable costs in connection with responding to legal proceedings) for anything done or omitted to be done directly in the discharge of their functions as such, unless the act or omission is shown to have been in bad faith, reckless or is the product of gross and obvious irregularity for which panel members are responsible.”
