The allocation and deployment of resources are an operational matter for the West Yorkshire Chief Constable, working with his Police and Crime Commissioner, and taking into account local priorities.

Funding levels for the police beyond March 2016 will be determined through the Spending Review. As the Chancellor has made clear, in order to finish the job of repairing Britain’s economy we must continue to prioritise sustainable public finances.

The Government has committed to a fundamental review of the police funding formula to ensure that allocations to local forces are fair and appropriate. Following an internal analytical review, a consultation on the principles of a revised formula was launched on 21 July.
