Police Grant Allocations England and Wales
The Home Office allocates annual police grant funding to police forces in England and Wales through a formal settlement process. The 2026-27 funding settlement has been finalised and addresses resource adequacy for specific policing priorities including urban robbery and specialist operations such as the Metropolitan Police's Operation Martello. This is an active annual budgeting and resource allocation mechanism that determines police service capacity and capability.
