Scrutiny Meeting
14:00 - 17:00 | 24.09.25 - Merseyside Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Mann Island, Liverpool
Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Emily Spurrell will put the public’s questions to the Chief Constable and his senior team at their quarterly Scrutiny Meeting today.
The quarterly Scrutiny Meetings are a crucial way the Commissioner holds the Chief Constable to account for delivering on his policing and community safety priorities and maintaining an efficient and effective police service in Merseyside.
To further increase the openness and transparency around policing in our region, Emily also invites the public to submit their questions on policing and community safety in our region, which she in turn puts to the Chief Constable and his team during these sessions.
The focus for this meeting will include Merseyside Police's work around serious violence, road safety and serious organised crime.
Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Emily Spurrell said: "One of my most important jobs is to hold the Chief Constable to account on Merseyside Police’s progress.
“It’s vitally important the public trust the police and can see that money and resources are being used wisely to deliver the best possible service to keep our communities safe.
“I had a really positive response to my call for questions ahead of this meeting and I will put many of these to the Chief Constable and his team for a response. I hope by providing this opportunity for local people to engage with the police they gain a valuable insight into how Merseyside Police operates and their work to build a stronger, safer Merseyside.”
As well as public questions, the three-hour session will provide Chief Officers with the opportunity to give the Commissioner a detailed account of the force’s progress on how they are addressing these issues and make our communities safer.
A link to watch the meeting will be provided here at least 5 days before the meeting.
A record of the meeting will also be published on the Scrutiny section of this website following the session.
Please note, by the time of this meeting, the new Chief Constable, Rob Carden, will be in post following the retirement of Chief Constable Serena Kennedy.
