The Ministry of Defence Police budget for financial year 2025-26 was £192 million. Forecast expenditure for 2026-27 is £206 million.
Risk is an integral part of the Department's financial planning process. Forecast expenditure and budget allocation decisions are informed by assessments of affordability, historical performance, planned requirements, anticipated demand and other factors that may affect future financial performance.
