I am writing to advise you that, following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the Office of the Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner.

The Office of the Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) and Northamptonshire Police are two separate legal entities. Information regarding operational policing matters is the responsibility of Northamptonshire Police, therefore the OPCC does not hold any of the information you have requested. Northamptonshire Police’s Information Unit may hold some of the information you are seeking. If you have not already done so, then you may wish to write to Ian Kelly, Freedom of Information and Data Protection Team Leader, Information Unit, Force Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton, NN4 0JQ / freedomofinformation@northants.pnn.police.uk

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be addressed to: Martin Scoble, Chief Executive, Office of the Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner, West Wing, Force Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton, NN4 0JQ.

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications. If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision.

Answer

I am writing to advise you that, following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that some of the information you requested is held by the Office of the Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner.

1. Office of the PC. Staff numbers/salary etc.

Details of the OPCC budget for 2018-19 can be found on our website at: Budget Information

Details of the OPCC’s staff can be found at: Office and Staff Information

2. Commissioning & Intervention-whatever that may be.

Commissioning includes the widest range of services, the majority of which include: adult and junior voice for victims and witnesses, the Sexual Advice Referral Centre and support for domestic violence and treatment services, offset by a grant from the Ministry of Justice of £0.0.848m, Proceeds of Crime Grant of £20k and Police property Fund of £30k. In 2018/19, this budget includes £1m for custody healthcare, the majority of which was transferred from the Force. Early Intervention includes contributions to Northamptonshire Safeguarding Children’s Board and the Youth Offending Service. Plans are also being developed to support early intervention initiatives for consultancy support to Early Intervention localities and investment in youth work and county coordination

3. PC.Plan Delivery Fund-delivery of what?

The Police and Crime plan sets out the PCC’s strategic priorities for policing in Northamptonshire and it can be read online.

The £0.25m in this year’s budget will create a new Police and Crime Plan Delivery Fund which will help the PCC deliver his priorities which are set out in the plan. With regard to your concerns relating to the new offices and the finances of Northamptonshire County Council, this is not a matter for the PCC. This is a matter for the council themselves and details of how they can be contacted can be found at: http://www3.northamptonshire.gov.uk/contact-us/Pages/default.aspx
