Devon and Cornwall Police Authority
The Devon and Cornwall Police Authority is made up of nineteen members: 10 councillors, 3 justices of the peace, and 6 independent members. The councillors are nominated by a committee consisting of members from the Devon, Cornwall, Plymouth, Torbay and Isles of Scilly councils.
If the Government is successful in introducing Police Commissioners to govern police forces, then the Devon and Cornwall Police Authority will be scrapped.
