In making these co-options, The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 requires that the Panel must ensure the overall Panel membership meets the balanced objective in skills, knowledge and experience necessary to discharge its functions effectively. After the interview process, the Panel agreed that the Chairman would be authorised to offer the successful candidate (subject to successful references) the position of Lay Independent Co-opted Member on the West Mercia Police and Crime Panel, which would be followed up with a formal offer in writing.
