Mr Hogg knew he would need to spend a lot of time in Exeter when he took the job.’ He added: ‘There is police accommodation at the constabulary’s HQ in Exeter. I have to use that when I need to stay overnight and so do other officers. It’s good, en suite ...
Tony Hogg Devon & Cornwall Police Commissioner (£85.000 per year) who has two homes now claims £650 per month from public funds for accommodation to make his drive to work shorter, even though he could stay at HQ for free. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2351621/85-000-year-police-tsar-homes-claims-650-month-live-near-office-stay-HQ-free.html
