The governance arrangements for PCCs, and Chief Constables is set in the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (the Act). The Policing Protocol Order sets out the relationship between PCCs and Chief Constables and how policing governance arrangements work, with statutory orders providing additional direction.

The Chief Executive (CEO), as monitoring officer, is required to ensure that the organisations act lawfully, reviewing arrangements regularly.
The OPCC and Force have developed a corporate governance framework on how these responsibilities are discharged and the law is complied with. This framework is known as the Scheme of Governance. The Scheme of Governance consists of four documents, these are:
