The 2025-26 police funding settlement for police forces, including full details on government grant funding and precept, will be set out to Parliament in the normal way before Christmas, but the Home Secretary confirmed in her Written Statement yesterday that, as part of that settlement, direct central government funding for policing next year will increase by £0.5 billion. That is core grant and additional funding for neighbourhood policing, counterterrorism and the National Crime Agency.
