Gloucestershire Constabulary: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the level of funding provided to Gloucestershire Constabulary for the 2024-25 financial year on frontline policing; and if she will take steps to increase that level of funding.

Answer

Gloucestershire Police received funding of up to £158 million in 2024-25. This is in addition to £1.3m provided for the 2024-25 pay award which was allocated outside of the police funding settlement.

In 2025-26, Gloucestershire will receive up to £168.2m, an increase of £10.1m compared to last year’s settlement. This represents a 6.4% cash increase and 3.9% real terms increase.

The 2025-26 funding settlement provides new funding of £200 million to kickstart the delivery of 13,000 additional neighbourhood officers, community support officers and special constables.
