EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
By this Order the Secretary of State confers particular functions on police authorities under section 6ZA of the Police Act 1996 (“the 1996 Act”).
Section 6 of the 1996 Act provides that police authorities shall have a number of general functions. The Police and Justice Act 2006 inserts a new section 6ZA into the 1996 Act. Under this section the Secretary of State can confer additional particular functions on police authorities and this Order confers a number of such functions. Article 3 of this Order requires police authorities to monitor the compliance of the force maintained for their area with the duties imposed under the Human Rights Act 1998 and with the authority’s policing plan issued under section 6ZB of the 1996 Act. Article 6 provides that until that section is in force and a plan actually issued that requirement has no effect.
Article 4 requires the police authority to secure that there are arrangements in force to secure that their force cooperate with other forces where it would be in the interests of the efficiency and effectiveness of their force or would promote the efficiency and effectiveness of one or more other forces. Article 5 requires the police authority to promote equality and diversity within their force and the authority.
