At the 29 July meeting the Police Authority's scrutiny structure will be reviewed to further understand the success and effectiveness of the system which has been in place for nearly 12 months.
The review will examine the effectiveness of the scrutiny committees that were set up in autumn of 2009. The scrutiny committees being reviewed are the Protective Services Scrutiny Committee, the Resources Scrutiny Committee and the Neighbourhood Policing Scrutiny committee and due to its scrutinising nature the Professional Standards Committee will also be reviewed.
Members will look at the focus of the committees with regards to performance, risk, planning and scrutiny reviews. The review will recommend that members continue to enhance the scrutiny roles of the committees and to focus further on the performance management of Sussex Police.

The Authority is an independent body that has responsibility for appointing Chief Officers of Sussex Police, setting the policing budget, scrutinising Force performance and ensuring that Sussex voices are able to shape the Local Policing Plan.
