  • The Authority is dedicated to maintaining an efficient and effective Police Service for Bedfordshire
  • It is responsible for consultation with the community to help determine priorities for future policing
  • The Authority sets the budget for the Police Service
  • It sets local objectives and monitors performance against targets set in consultation with the Chief Constable and the local community 

The Authority is responsible for reviewing efficiency and effectiveness through the five year Best Value Programme
