Kent Police: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of funding levels for Kent Police.

Answer

This Government is committed to ensuring that the police have the resources they need to tackle crime effectively.

Kent Police’s funding will be up to £431.5m in 2024-25. This is in addition to £4m provided for the 2024-25 pay award which has been allocated outside of the police funding settlement.

As announced at the Autumn Budget 2024, the settlement will increase the core government grant for police forces and help support frontline policing levels across the country.

Force level funding allocations for the financial year 2025-26 will be confirmed at the forthcoming police funding settlement. Funding for future years beyond 2025-26 will be set out in phase 2 of the Spending Review.
