Our Governance Arrangements

Code of Corporate Governance

Governance is about how Durham Police Authority ensures that we are doing the right things, in the right way, in a timely, inclusive, open and accountable manner.

This Code of Corporate Governance describes how we discharge our responsibilities in this respect, and particularly our two overarching statutory responsibilities:

• To secure an efficient and effective local police service; and
• To hold to account the Chief Constable of Durham Constabulary for the exercise of his functions and those of persons under his direction and control.
