The Government is proposing a total police funding settlement of up to £15.8 billion in 2021/22, which is an increase of up to £636 million compared to 2020/21.

Additionally, over two years, in the 18 areas worst affected by serious violence, we have invested over £100m to surge police capacity and £70m into multi-agency Violence Reduction Units.
