<p>The Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) receive funding from central Government and locally through the police precept component of council tax. In 2013-14 total central Government funding to the police is £8.8 billion. Total precept funding (including local council tax support) is £3.4 billion.</p><p>The aggregate amount of grant funding the Home Office provides to PCCs in England and Wales is published in the Police Grant Report 2013/14. Although the Home Office provides funding to PCCs, it does not hold details of the full budgets for police forces as this includes funding from other sources such as the use of reserves and from charging for additional services. We do not collect or hold this information centrally.</p><p>PCCs have the responsibility for allocating the force budget, in consultation with their respective chief constables.</p>
