Do you want to help scrutinise the way your policing finances operate? Could you offer a strong and independent voice on corporate governance affairs?
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Thames Valley and the Chief Constable are looking for citizens with a good understanding and experience of public sector legislation and guidance, who are politically neutral, to sit as independent members of the Joint Independent Audit Committee.
