Neighbourhood Policing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data she used to determine which areas had the highest unmet need for neighbourhood policing resources in the 2025-26 settlement.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Grant funding allocations for neighbourhood policing in 2025/26 were calculated using the Police Funding Formula.
The approach to delivery in 2025/26, which will be year 1 of a 4-year programme, is designed to deliver an initial increase to the neighbourhood policing workforce in a manner that is flexible, and can be adapted to the local context and varied crime demands.
