In 2017, I spoke to every force in England and Wales about the changing demands they face, and how these can best be managed, including the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for West Midlands. Following this engagement, I announced the police funding settlement for 2018/19 which will see an additional £450m invested in the policing system, around £270m direct to PCCs. The West Midlands PCC chose to use increased precept flexibility, which will provide around £9.5m additional funding for West Midlands Police in 2018/19.
