Police Budget & Council Tax Consultation
4th January 2018

Please see the following information about this year’s police budget and council tax consultation, which is open until January 19th.

A proposed 4% increase to the police’s share of council tax, equivalent to £7.58 per year for a typical band D home
Inflation, which has now reached almost 4% (RPI), and a 10% increase in demand are the key reasons behind the proposal
This would ensure protection for neighbourhood community policing and numbers of PCs
It would enable continued significant and necessary investment in reforming and modernising the police force
Projects aimed at tackling root causes of crime would continue in our communities, which have helped 12,000 people this year
