## What is the short version?



- **Two sources of money:** Home Office grant and the council tax precept, which has grown faster since 2015-16.
- **Every force has a page:** its funding, precept per Band D home, officers, recorded crime, charge rate and 999 answering, against England and Wales and its most similar forces.
- **Side by side, not cause and effect:** recording practice differs, breaks are marked, and demand differs between areas.






## Over the longest run published: cash, real terms and per head




**Police, United Kingdom: spending in cash and in 2025-26 prices, £ billion**








Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator, 2025-26 prices. Breaks in the series: 2012-13: Police and crime commissioners replaced police authorities after the elections of November 2012. 2013-14: Police Scotland replaced Scotland’s eight regional forces on 1 April 2013. 2017-18: Police, fire and crime commissioners and mayors could take on police governance from 2017; the funding tables follow the body that sets the precept.

## Grant or precept: where the money comes from



Forces in England and Wales have two main sources of money: grant from the Home Office (and, in Wales, the Welsh
Government), and the police precept on council tax, set each year by the police and crime commissioner or mayor.
The precept was 28.2% of their funding in 2015-16 and is 34.9% in 2026-27. Scotland and Northern
Ireland have no police precept.




**Police funding in England and Wales: government grant and council tax precept, 2025-26 prices, £ billion**








The latest year, 2026-27, is the budget. Real terms use HM Treasury’s GDP deflator; the budget year uses the OBR’s forecast of it.

## Search the department's payments over £25,000



Every payment of £25,000 or more the department published for the latest year, as published.
See [every department's spending over £25,000](/government-spending-over-25000/) for what each covers.




Home Office published **17,668 payments** worth
**£3.69bn** to 585 suppliers and recipients
from August 2025 to July 2026 (12 of 12 months published).
The Home Office's own files, which include its agencies (such as the Disclosure and Barring Service); the separate files for other bodies in the same publication (such as the IOPC) are not read.



**Gaps and problems in the data, as published (2)**

- 29% of rows are under £25,000: the department lists individual lines of larger payments, or publishes some smaller ones. They are kept as published.
- 8 credits and refunds (negative amounts, £25,565 in all) are included, so totals are net.




Searching needs JavaScript. Every payment is in [one JSON file](/data/spend25k/tx/home-office.json).

The map covers the whole UK. Where the nations publish the same measure, they share one scale. Where they publish
different ones, each nation is shaded against its own measure on its own scale, named in its own part of the legend, and
the nations cannot be compared with each other. Where a nation publishes nothing for a measure, the map says so and links to
what it publishes instead. Pick an area for its figures and a link to its page.

What each measure counts



- Funding per resident

Government funding plus precept, per resident, cash.
- Police precept, Band D

The police part of a Band D council tax bill in the force area. In London the Mayor’s police precept is part of the Greater London Authority’s and is not published separately; City of London has no police precept.
- Officers per 100,000 residents

Full-time equivalent officers per 100,000 residents: on 31 March in England and Wales (Home Office), at each quarter end in Scotland (Scottish Government), and on the date of the PSNI’s strength figures in Northern Ireland. Forces with large visitor or commuter populations (London, the City) look high on this measure.
- Recorded crime per 1,000 residents

Offences recorded by the force in the financial year, excluding fraud, per 1,000 residents: Home Office figures for England and Wales, and the PSNI’s for Northern Ireland, which records under the same Home Office Counting Rules and offence groups. Recorded crime depends on what is reported and how each force records it; recording practice differs between forces and has changed over time. A higher rate is not in itself a sign of more crime or worse policing.







## What people say about it




### Should more of police funding come from council tax precepts?





### Those who defend local precepts or want more local flexibility



- The public were clear about what they were willing to contribute, with 66% supporting an increase, and I am grateful for the trust they have placed in us to ensure the best value for money. Clive Grunshaw (Labour), Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire, Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner ([2 February 2026](https://www.lancashire-pcc.gov.uk/2026/02/02/panel-approves-police-and-crime-commissioners-budget-plans-to-prioritise-neighbourhood-policing/)) In the same release he says the police grant increase "is simply not enough to cover inflation and pay costs".
- This is why I believe that supporting our policing teams has never been more important than it is today and I need to ensure the Chief Constable has the right tools to take the fight to the criminals. Lisa Townsend (Conservative), Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey, Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner ([2 February 2024](https://www.surrey-pcc.gov.uk/commissioner-police-teams-have-tools-take-fight-criminals-communities-after-council-tax-increase-goes-ahead/)) Said when her 2024/25 precept rise went ahead.
- The first is greater precept flexibility for forces such as Dorset that are already asking far more of local taxpayers than others. Edward Morello MP (Liberal Democrat), House of Commons ([11 February 2026](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-02-11/debates/349795A4-A709-42E2-A9AC-2760D25C519A/PoliceGrantReport)) Checked against the official Hansard text via the Hansard API (the web page blocks automated fetches). He also argues the current settlement disadvantages rural counties with small council tax bases.





### Those who say the precept shifts the burden unfairly and central grant should carry more



- The Government is relying on a hidden council tax bombshell to fund their half-hearted rise in police funding as they pass the buck to local families. Lisa Smart MP, Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesperson, Liberal Democrats ([11 June 2025](https://www.libdems.org.uk/press/release/police-funding-short-fall-as-families-face-council-tax-bombshell-to-pick-up-the-tab))
- They cannot be treated as business as usual, nor should the burden of delivering them continue to be passed disproportionately to local communities through increases in the Council Tax precept. Roger Hirst and Joy Allen, joint finance leads, Association of Police and Crime Commissioners ([22 December 2025](https://policeprofessional.com/news/provisional-grant-settlement-for-policing-for-2026-27-disappointing-says-apcc/)) As quoted by Police Professional. "They" refers to national policing priorities.
- When funding depends heavily on council tax capacity, areas with lower property values are structurally constrained, regardless of need or performance. Mary Kelly Foy MP (Labour), House of Commons ([11 February 2026](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-02-11/debates/349795A4-A709-42E2-A9AC-2760D25C519A/PoliceGrantReport)) Checked against the official Hansard text via the Hansard API (the web page blocks automated fetches).
- The reliance on the police precept entrenches a postcode lottery in policing. Matt Vickers MP (Conservative), shadow policing minister, House of Commons ([11 February 2026](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-02-11/debates/349795A4-A709-42E2-A9AC-2760D25C519A/PoliceGrantReport)) Checked against the official Hansard text via the Hansard API (the web page blocks automated fetches).

### Do more officers mean less crime?





### Those who say officer numbers matter



- The heartbeat of our Great British policing tradition is seeing bobbies on the beat, but for too long, too many communities have been feeling abandoned as crime soared and neighbourhood police disappeared, even when local crimes like shop theft, street theft or blatant drug dealing rose sharply. Yvette Cooper MP (Labour), then Home Secretary, Home Office / 10 Downing Street ([10 April 2025](https://wired-gov.net/wg/news.nsf/articles/New+measures+to+put+neighbourhood+bobbies+back+on+beat+10042025102500?open=)) Government press release as republished by Wired-Gov.
- Today, we've seen the direct result – 1,300 officers gone, recruitment down 17 per cent, and 5,400 police jobs at risk, at the very moment knife crime is surging and confidence is collapsing. Chris Philp MP (Conservative), shadow Home Secretary, Conservative Party ([25 July 2025](https://www.andrewsnowden.uk/news/1300-police-officers-cut-under-labour-wrecking-our-progress-policing)) As published on the website of Andrew Snowden MP.
- If the Government are serious about restoring neighbourhood policing, they need to step up, get this reform right and get more officers back on to our streets. Max Wilkinson MP (Liberal Democrat), House of Commons ([11 February 2026](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-02-11/debates/349795A4-A709-42E2-A9AC-2760D25C519A/PoliceGrantReport)) Checked against the official Hansard text via the Hansard API (the web page blocks automated fetches).





### Those who say deployment, experience or productivity matter more than headcount



- Redirecting resources into better technology, improving data-sharing across agencies, and enabling forces to pool specialist capabilities with a view to increasing productivity may yield greater returns than a narrow political focus on putting more boots on the ground. Sophie Davis, director of research, Crest Advisory ([12 June 2025](https://www.crestadvisory.com/post/spending-review-2025-does-it-match-the-scale-of-the-government-s-ambition-on-crime-and-justice)) The same paragraph says Crest research found the 20,000-officer uplift "had only limited effects on outcomes".
- Having listened to feedback from police chiefs, police and crime commissioners, Select Committees and His Majesty’s inspectorate of constabulary and fire and rescue services and others, we are removing arbitrary headcount targets for overall officer numbers. Sarah Jones MP (Labour), Minister for Policing and Crime, House of Commons ([11 February 2026](https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2026-02-11/debates/349795A4-A709-42E2-A9AC-2760D25C519A/PoliceGrantReport)) Checked against the official Hansard text via the Hansard API (the web page blocks automated fetches).
- There are big problems in the police but it's not clear that the number of officers is the most pressing; forces are struggling to rebuild public trust, charge rates remain low. Matthew Fright and Gil Richards, Institute for Government ([26 April 2023](https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/police-officer-target)) Older than the preferred 2024-26 window.

## What these figures do and don't show



- **Recorded crime is not all crime.** It counts what is reported to the police and recorded under the Home Office Counting Rules. Recording practice differs between forces and has changed over time; the Crime Survey for England and Wales is the better guide to national trends.
- **Breaks in the series are marked.** After the inspectorate found in 2014 that one crime in five was not being recorded, recording improved, which pushed counts up from 2014-15; a rule change in May 2023 lowered some counts; and from April 2025 shop theft with force is counted as robbery.
- **Nothing here shows cause and effect.** Funding, officers, recorded crime, charge rates and call answering are shown side by side. A force with more money or more officers per resident may face more demand; a higher crime rate may reflect better recording.
- **Areas differ.** Rates divide by residents, but London and city-centre forces serve many commuters and visitors who are not residents. The Home Office’s most similar forces are the fairest comparison it publishes.
- **Budget years are plans.** The latest funding year is the budget; earlier years are revised as in-year grants are shared out.
