The Police Act 1996 (as amended by the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001) allows each Police Authority to decide its own allowances scheme including the payments which it makes to its Chairman and other members.
The Authority reviews the Scheme annually. You can view Durham Police Authority's Members' Allowances Scheme and the Allowances and Expenses as a PDF document by clicking on the links below.
