Members of Hampshire Police Authority

Each of the Authority's 17 members serves in four-year terms. The membership is comprised as follows:

• Nine members are Councillors, appointed to reflect the political balance of Portsmouth and Southampton unitary authorities, and Hampshire and the Isle of Wight County Councils takens as a whole;

• Eight are independent members of the public who are appointed following a rigorous selection process, one of which must be a Magistrate.

• In view of the short time remaining in the existence of Police Authorities, to remove the need for authorities to carry out expensive and time consuming appointment processes for new independent members who would serve for a year or less, the Government has passed the Police Authority (Amendment No 3) Regulations 2010 which came into force on 19 January 2011.  This regulation extends the term of office of all existing Independent Members of Police Authorities until 10 May 2012.  The three Independent Members whose terms expire during 2011 have confirmed that they are willing to serve until May 2012 and accordingly the terms of office of Mr Peter Sanders, Mr Robert Purkiss and Mrs Judy Venables will be extended to 10 May 2012.
