Hide AdA report detailing the complaints the commissioner received over 2022/23 was noted during the latest county police and crime panel.
If complaints are serious enough or relate to conduct matters, the panel must refer them to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
The report states Mrs Henry received 49 formal complaints in relation to her speeding offences.
Several other complaints were made, bringing the total made against Mrs Henry in the year to 55.

Others were unrelated to the crime commissioner herself and therefore out of scope.
None of the 55 complaints were upheld.
At the time of the convictions Mrs Henry said: “I’m truly sorry for speeding. Quite properly I’ve been fined and banned from driving for six months.”
