FOI Request
I would like to request some data in accordance with the Freedom Of Information Act. Please could you provide:
- The job title for every post in your office. Please include any joint posts. If you have appointed a Deputy Commissioner, please include that.
- The salary, or if that is unavailable, the pay band, for each of the offices in 1.
FOI Response
I can confirm that the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland does hold this information.
In strict accordance with the Act I am refusing question 1 of your request, because it relates to information already published – in respect of which any member of the public can access the relevant section of the PCC’s website at:
My response to question 2 of your request is as follows:
As part of our statutory obligations under The Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) Order 2011, we publish the name, salary and job description of senior members of the OPCC who exceed the £58,200 threshold set out in the Order.
This information can be found under the link provided above and includes the Chief Executive, the Chief Finance Officer and the Assistant Chief Executive.
Employees who fall under the £58,200 threshold set out in the Act are protected under Section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act, as salary is considered to be personal data.
As a result, I will not be providing the salary for the individual roles within the OPCC, but will be providing the pay bands.
