The medium term financial plan is aligned to the Police and Crime Plan and takes account of affordability, risk, use of reserves and the Prudential Code for Capital Finance in Local Authorities.
The majority of police funding is received through government grants that are issued by the Home Office. In addition to this, PCCs have been established as precepting authorities and can raise additional funding by setting a precept. This is charged to local householders as an element of Council Tax.
Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables are required under the Accounts and Audit Regulations to produce individual and group Statement of Accounts annually.
