Sussex Police Authority consists of 17 members of the Sussex community. Nine are councillors, elected to East and West Sussex County Councils and Brighton and Hove City Council, and are appointed to the Police Authority to reflect the political balance of those Councils.
The remaining eight posts are filled by independent members appointed by the Authority’s councillor members following public advertisements, short-listing and interview. At least one of these independent members must be a magistrate; currently Sussex Police Authority has three magistrates.
