Leicester's assistant mayor, Councillor Sarah Russell, who ran against Sir Clive in the election, is also on the panel.
The panel will meet Sir Clive on Thursday, December 20 at County Hall.
Sir Clive, a former air chief marshal, is now working with Chief Constable Simon Cole and other senior officers to draw up a three-year policing plan, which will come into effect from April.
A website has also been launched to explain the work of the commissioner and to provide updates.
Writing on the website, Sir Clive said: "I want to help the force to drive down crime, and to deliver the best possible service for each resident."

“Congratulation you Sir Clive Loader. Some how his personality explaining that he is the right person for the job. Why he have to keep Councillor Sarah Russell in his panel.”

“Pretty good spread of people .Can Russel take her knitting to the meetings ?
One thing they can look at is making women aware of the increasing amount of assaults on women in Leicester .”
