What we spend and how we spend it

Budget Setting

The Commissioner is responsible for setting the budget for the police.

The total budget for 2022-23 is £346.4 million. The majority of funding is received through:

• Government grants, calculated using a funding formula – 56%
• Local police precept, from council tax – 44%.

Each year, the Commissioner must consult with the Chief Constable to set a budget for the forthcoming year and agree a medium term financial strategy that takes account of funding and spending plans for both revenue and capital.
