As a result of the 2026-27 police funding settlement, Norfolk Police will receive up to £248.7 million in 2026-27, which is an increase of £9.5 million on the previous year. This equates to a 4.0% cash increase in funding.

Forces are operationally independent, and the deployment of officers and staff remains an operational decision for Chief Constables.
