Cumbria Constabulary
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will set out her plans for the future of Cumbria Police; and whether that police force's (a) budget and (b) number of police officers will be reduced in the current financial year.
- Answer
-
Decisions about the policing priorities in Cumbria are a matter for the locally elected and accountable Police and Crime Commissioner. In Cumbria, police recorded crime fell by 5% between June 2010 and March 2016.
In 2016/17, direct resource funding to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), including precept (the element of police funding derived from council tax), has been protected to at least flat cash levels. This means that no PCC who chose to maximise precept is facing a reduction in cash funding in 2016/17 compared to 2015/16 and the majority are seeing marginal cash increases in their spending power.
