The Commissioner, under the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, Sections 9&10, has the ability to make crime and disorder grants. Considering the requirements under the Act, the current service provision landscape in Gwent and the progress made to date in producing a commissioning framework the Commissioner has decided to support the OWL scheme for the financial period 2013/14. The OWL scheme will need to provide evidence to show that the funding allocated is being used effectively to meet my policing priorities as set out in my Police and Crime Plan 2013/17.

Gwent Police currently uses Midland Software's Delphi Millenium Integrated Human Resources and Payroll software, purchased in 1996.

The Commissioner is responsible for approving the overall framework of accountability and control and monitoring compliance in relation to asset management as set out in the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent's Manual of Corporate Governance, paragraph 1.1.4.
