Ministers are in regular contact with Police and Crime Commissioners and other interested parties and discuss a variety of matters, including resources. Ministers recently received representations from the Cumbria Police and Crime Commissioner and the Chief Constable in response to the consultation on reform of the police funding arrangements in England and Wales.On the basis of our review of consultation responses and other feedback received we are proposing a number of refinements be made to the model. The Policing Minister wrote to all PCCs and Chiefs on 8 October to provide detail on the proposed refinements, set out the indicative force-level impact and invite further comments.
