Police Funding England and Wales

The Home Office manages police funding for England and Wales, currently addressing structural gaps in the funding formula that disadvantage rural forces and fail to account for demographic change. The government has committed to recruiting 13,000 additional neighbourhood policing personnel by 2029 with £200 million allocated for 2025–26, while forces face constraints on capital investment and IT modernisation due to high pay costs.
