Recruitment Opportunity – Police Misconduct Independent Panel Members

The Police and Crime Commissioners for the Eastern Region are seeking to recruit up to 20 Independent Panel Members (IPM) to hear police misconduct hearings from across the region. The successful candidates will sit alongside Legally Qualified Chairs and senior police officers as part of a panel of three. They will hear cases involving officers from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies.

Misconduct Hearing Panels involve serious misconduct cases and are an important aspect of the disciplinary rules that govern the police, helping to ensure public trust and confidence is maintained.

Applications are sought from individuals who can demonstrate integrity and independence of mind, commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, sound judgement and an objective approach to the issues presented.

Successful candidates will be part of a list of 20 IPMs who will be selected to sit on hearings across the region. These hearings can last a few days and it is expected that members of the panel will have sufficient availability to undertake this work. Training is provided and attendance is expected from IPM.
