Budget
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) receives funding from the Home Office through a police grant (referred to as formula grant) and the remainder is raised locally through the ‘precept’ which is the part of your council tax that pays for policing.
For 2024-25 the formula grant is £100.7 million and a further £9.1 million in specific grants for pension and ringfenced for Uplift. Precept provides us with £87.5 million.
The Constabulary has a Net Budget Requirement for 2024-25 of £188.8 million.
More information on the Medium-Term Financial Strategy is provided further down the page.
