Policing Budget

The Police and Crime Commissioner’s 2022/23 overall budget of £411m is made up of 59% funding from national Government grant and 41% from local council tax.

Last year local support of an increase in the policing element of the council tax helped to make residents safer by funding more call handlers to answer 999 and 101 calls, the recruitment of more police officers and support of CountryWatch to tackle rural crime. This was all underpinned with an investment in police officer wellbeing, resulting in improved productivity with more officers available to keep our communities safer.

During this financial year, the increase is providing more than £10 million additional funding for policing.
