1.introduction

1.1 This report was prepared by the Secretary of State for the Home Office (the Home Secretary) in accordance with Section 46(3) of the Police Act 1996 (the 1996 Act).

1.2 This report sets out the determination of the Home Secretary for 2023 to 2024 under Section 46(2) of the 1996 Act on the total amount of donations for police purposes that he proposes to pay under Section 46 and the amount of the donation to be made to each local police force to be paid in the same section.^{[footnote 1]}Value-added grants for police purposes include the Central Office Police Agreement, Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) [now Department of Grading, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)] Formula Funding, Legacy Council Tax Subsidy, National and International Capitals Grants, Welsh Top-Up Grant and Pcept Grant. This provision has been approved by the Treasury Department pursuant to Section 46(2) of the 1996 Act.

1.3 The report also reflects the considerations that the Home Secretary took into account when making her decision.

1.4 In determining the apportionment of all or part of the added value of policing subsidies to local law enforcement agencies, the Home Secretary may, in accordance with Section 46(4) of the 1996 Act, at his discretion, apply such formulas or other rules as she deems appropriate.

1.5 The Home Secretary has decided to continue applying the buffer so that each local police force receives the same percentage increase in the total funding of the formula. Therefore, the grants for the base police grants and DCLG formula awarded to local law enforcement agencies in 2022 and 2023 were increased in line with the overall increase in these grant streams in 2023 and 2024. The allocations of funds for both financial years are based on the distribution of the 2013-2014 Police Allocation Formula. This report provides information on the formula applied to the main police allocation element of the Central Police Agreement in 2013-2014 and refers to separate documentation, which defines the method used to allocate DCLG formula funds from 2013 to 2014.

1.6 As for all years 2013-2014, funds for the DCLG formula under Section 46 of the Police Act 1996 are paid by the Home Office to local police authorities. Therefore included in this report. This is the result of the government's decision that local law enforcement agencies should be funded outside of the business fee withholding system.

1.7 Financial grants from the Council Tax Freeze Grant in connection with the 2011-2012, 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 programs and prepaid local tax support (LCTS) for local police forces in England by the Secretary for Communities and Local Government under Section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003, in 2023-2024 they will also be paid to local police authorities by the Home Secretary under Section 46 of the Police Act 1996. , is included in this report. This is the result of the government's desire to simplify the police funding regime.

1.8 This report does not establish the total amount of central government funding for local police authorities in England and Wales. It does not cover the Police National Security Allowance under Section 48(1) of the 1996 Act. It also does not cover the Allowance paid by the Welsh Government to local police forces in Wales. This report also does not cover pension funds paid by the Home Office to local police authorities under Section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003. The City of London Common Council (on behalf of the London Police City of London) and the Greater London Authority (on behalf of the Mayor's Office of Policing and Crime) also have access to council tax freeze grants through the DLUHC Local Government Funding Agreement. This report does not cover this funding. In addition, under Section 169 of the Public Order and Criminal Justice Act 1994, the Home Secretary determines that £275,000. Number of officers comprised of the police augmentation baseline agreed by police forces, plus the allocation of the additional 20,000 officers recruited through the police augmentation program. Funding allocations for this £275,000,000 are based on the Police Allocation Formula 2013-2014. Further details, including the conditions to which this grant is subject, will be communicated and agreed with local police forces in due course. 9. This report also does not represent all police funds. Local law enforcement agencies collect a significant portion of their funds locally through the municipal tax regime. In addition, the Home Office reallocates funds to national policing priorities. The attached Written Ministerial Statement sets out the government's plans for the other elements of police funding.

2.Total amount of subsidies

2.1 Under Section 46(2)(a) of the 1996 Act, the Home Office determines that the added value of Section 46 policing grants is £9,223,959,522 (including £5,074. £537,776 for Home Office Police). ). Core Agreement, £507,388,388 in Legacy Council Tax Grants, £190,173,525 in Domestic and International Equity Grants, £63,531,875 in Welsh Matching Grants, £6,446,401 in Precept and £3,381,881,557 in funding from the DCLG Formula).

3.Allocation of the added value of subsidies

3.1 Pursuant to Section 46(2)(b) of the 1996 Act, the Home Secretary determines that subject to footnotes 4 to 10 below, the full amount of the allowances for policing purposes in the years 2023 to 2024 is to be paid to each location of the Police Department is the Value shown with its name in column (f) of the table below.^{[footnote 2]}

Table 1 - Allocation of Police Core Settlement Grants

4.considerations taken into account

4.1 Pursuant to Section 46(3) of the 1996 Act, the considerations taken into account by the Home Secretary in making his appointment are set out in paragraphs 4.2 to 4.9 below.

police action formula

4.2 The core police grant element of the Central Police Agreement has been distributed in proportion to the core police grant allocations for 2022-2023. This approach is consistent with the core police grant allocation over the previous nine years. Amounts for 2013-2014 were allocated according to the Needs-Based Police Allocation Formula described in Appendix A.

Extra payment to the Greater London Authority on behalf of the Mayor's Office for Police and Crime and the City of London Common Council on behalf of the City of London Police

4.3 The Home Office ruled that both the Greater London Authority, on behalf of the Mayor's Office for Police and Crime, and the City of London Common Council, on behalf of the City of London Police, should receive additional funding in recognition of their various roles. of the national and international capital of both police forces. These grants total £185,339,439 for the Mayor's Office of Police and Crime and £4,834,086 for the City of London Police. These are funded by moves within the general police settlement.

Special payment to the City of London Common Council on behalf of the City of London Police

4.4 The Home Office ruled that the City of London Common Council should receive additional funding on behalf of the City of London Police as the City of London Common Council does not have a police mandate and therefore does not benefit from any flexibility in the principles of the Council Tax Referendum in 2023 by 2024. This rule grant is £6,446,401. This is financed by resettlement within the general police settlement.

Additional rule 1

4.5 The Home Office has decided that the allocation of police grants to local police forces in Wales should be differentiated to ensure that they receive police grants and general local authority grants at the same rate (increase or decrease) as for the local police force applies. In England. On this basis, no adjustment to Supplementary Rule 1 has been made for this year as all Welsh forces require additional funds to cover the increase applicable to law enforcement in England, which is covered by the Welsh reinforcement described in paragraph 4.6.

charge in welsh

4.6 The Home Secretary has also ruled that in order to obtain the same change (increase or decrease) in the Main Police Subsidy and the General Local Authority Subsidies for local police forces in England, a Welsh Subsidy will be paid to local police forces becomes . awarded in Wales. The Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner receives an additional £17,972,180, the Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner receives an additional £10,862,471, the North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner receives an additional £22,517,262 and the South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner receives an additional £10,862,471 will give you an additional £12,179,962.

Funding the DCLG formula

4.7 To ensure that all local law enforcement agencies receive the same percentage increase in the government funding formula, these funding allocations have been split proportionally to the 2022-2023 allocations. This was the same approach as in the previous 9 financial years. The basis for allocations to local law enforcement agencies 2013-2014 was set in the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government's 'Calculating Formula Funding 2013-2014' which was attached to the Interim Local Government Finance Report (England) 2013/14.

Transfer of special funds for affiliated companies

4.8 From 2022 to 2023, funds for special functions in local police forces were transferred from the Basic Police Grant to the Terrorism Surveillance Grant (disbursed to safeguard national security under Section 48(1) of the 1996 Act). A total of £43,907,717 was transferred from the Police Core Grant, with costs being covered by the Anti-Terrorism Policing Grant. To ensure equity, each police agency's core policing grant will be reduced by the amount budgeted in their specific branch role in 2021 and 2022. This is done by manually adjusting the Police Core Grant allocations and the The result is in column (a) of Table 1, after considering Section 4.2. This setting is not published for security reasons.

Legacy City Tax Exemptions

4.9 This funding comprises Council Tax Freeze grants from the 2011-2012, 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 schemes to be paid to local Police Authorities (formerly Police Authorities) in England who have chosen to bid in to freeze or reduce these years and the Council Tax Subsidy paid to local police forces in England in 2013-2014 by location of Council Tax Support Schemes. These funding streams were prepaid by DCLG to local law enforcement agencies. The basis for awarding these funds is the same as in previous years and can be found on the DLUHC website. The added value of these funding flows is shown in column (c) of the table below.

5.Diploma

5.1 This report is prepared by the Home Secretary in accordance with Section 46 of the Police Act 1996.

5.2 The financial year to which the report applies begins on April 1, 2023.

The approval of Her Majesty's Treasury has been obtained for the provision set out in paragraph 2.1 and paragraph 3.1 of this report.

Appendix A - Formula used by the Secretary of the Interior in 2013-2014

A.1 The formula used to allocate the Home Office Police Basic Grant is the same as the Police Family Needs formula used to calculate the DCLG Formula Funding Allocations in England and by the Welsh Government in Welsh becomes.

A.2 The first step in the formula is to allocate funds to the different police activities. These activities or workloads can be broken down into five main areas:

• Crime (of which there are seven subcategories)

• Incidents (e.g. public disturbances)

• Traffic (e.g. assistance in traffic accidents)

• Fear of crime (e.g. public safety)

• special events (e.g. soccer games)

A.3 Part of the overall funding will also be allocated according to population shortages to meet the special needs of rural workers.

A.4 The second step is to allocate the funds for each of these workloads to the 43 local police forces in England and Wales. To do this, 'workload indicators' are calculated to estimate how much work each police force should have in each of the key areas compared to other forces. These estimates are calculated from socioeconomic and demographic indicators correlated with each workload. Workload indicators are used instead of data on the actual level of crime recorded, to account for known discrepancies in recording practices and to avoid creating false incentives.

A.5 The formula consists of a baseline per inhabitant and a baseline for special events and top-ups for the top 5 areas, bottlenecks and area costs (which take into account regional cost differences). These are listed below:

basic amount

Police baseline: 14.1412

Special Events base value: 0.7356
