<p>I and my Ministers meet regularly with the PSNI to discuss a range of issues, in
recognition of the Government’s commitment to the safety and security of the people
of Northern Ireland. I most recently met the Chief Constable on his second day in
office to emphasise my support for the PSNI and my confidence in its new leadership.</p><p>
</p><p>Policing is a devolved matter in Northern Ireland and the PSNI’s main budget
is allocated by the Department of Justice from the Northern Ireland block grant.</p><p><br>
We also provide the PSNI with £32 million in additional security funding to address
the SEVERE threat from Northern Ireland-related terrorism. This ensures PSNI’s ability
to tackle the terrorist threat while ensuring day-to-day policing is not compromised.</p>
