<p>The Home Office runs the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS), in which
criminal property recovered under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 is divided between
the Home Office and operational partners, based on their relative contribution to
recovering these funds. These funds are calculated and paid quarterly in arrears to
agencies, as soon as possible after the end of each quarter.</p><p>The safer communities
fund is not operated by the Home Office but by local police forces. There is an expectation
that payments made under ARIS will be used to further drive up performance on asset
recovery and, where appropriate, to fund local crime fighting priorities for the benefit
of the community.</p>
