What does the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Merseyside spend money on?

                                                    

Following yesterday’s blog post about the election statements of the Police and Crime Commissioner candidates, I had a look at the website of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Merseyside.

The expenses for the Police and Crime Commissioner and Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner are published quarterly. You might wonder why a Police and Crime Commissioner (on a salary of £85,000 a year) doesn’t just pay for train travel to London and accommodation herself. Expenses only covers tickets in standard class by train, but as the Police and Crime Commissioner prefers to travel by first class, she pays the difference herself between the standard class and first class fares.

I thought people might also be interested in what the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Merseyside has spent money on in the last financial year as payments over £500 have to be published now. Please note this is just spending by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Merseyside which is a different public body to Merseyside Police.
