Peter McCall publicly apologised after he was caught speeding while on holiday in Somerset in August, where he was found to be travelling at 36mph in a 30mph zone.
The commissioner, whose role is to hold the Chief Constable to account, made a statement about the offence at the Cumbria Police and Crime Panel’s (PCP) October meeting.
He admitted to being “embarrassed” by the incident but said it proved “nobody is above the law”.
He went on to refer the incident to the IPCC, as is required for a conduct matter. It has now confirmed it is not necessary to investigate further and referred the matter back to the PCP.
This will be formally noted at its meeting today.
The PCP said: “The monitoring officer has delegated authority to deal with such matters and has decided that no further action needs to be taken in this matter.
“The Police and Crime Commissioner has made his regret clear and has acted with openness and integrity subsequent to the incident.
“The monitoring officer considers the incident does not affect the Police and Crime Commissioner’s ability to perform the duties of his office.”
