Police & Crime Plan 2025-28

Budget

As the Police and Crime Commissioner, I receive all funding for policing in Surrey.

This includes grants from the Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), as well as the portion of council tax designated for policing.

In overseeing the finances of the PCC Group, which includes Surrey Police and my office, I set the overall budget and determine the level of council tax required to fund it.
