Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Joanna Carter commenced her role within the OPCC on 01 May 2013 and is still presently employed in that role. Joanna Carter’s salary can be found published here;

There is currently an interim CEO, in place since 01 August 2016. Fraser Sampson was appointed to this role under secondment from the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire with effect from 01 August 2016. He was appointed on a 0.9 FTE basis, and does not cost the OPCC more than its substantive post. Further details on the arrangement and his salary are detailed in the hyperlinks

Pursuant to the exemption provided for by Section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, full disclosure is not currently possible in respect of the rights of the individuals involved.
