This release contains information on agreed police funding in England and Wales between the financial years ending March 2016 and March 2022. Chapter 3 also contains high level information on funding back to the financial year ending March 2011.

Key findings

• £15,877 million in police funding for England and Wales has been agreed for the financial year ending March 2022 overall funding has increased nominally by £433m (2.8%) compared with the previous financial year
• funding has grown in real terms for the fifth consecutive year following a decline between the financial years ending 2011 and 2017
• excluding in-year COVID-19 support and Serious Violence funding noted below (and therefore strictly comparing between police funding settlements), funding has increased nominally by £600 million compared with the previous financial year
