Neighbourhood Policing: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how the neighbourhood policing grant allocation for each police force has been calculated.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
As a central part of the Safer Streets Mission, £200 million has been made available in FY 25/26 to support the first steps of delivering 13,000 more neighbourhood policing personnel.
In 2025-26, funding for this grant has been allocated using the Police Funding Formula, and details of the force-level allocations have been confirmed in individual letters directly with forces.
