<p>The government recognises that the current police funding formula is out of date
and no longer accurately reflects demand on policing. A review of the funding formula
was launched in Autumn 2021 to ensure that it fairly and transparently distributes
the circa £8.6bn of annual core grant funding across the 43 police forces in England
and Wales.</p><p>We are working towards completing the first phase of the review and
are considering the demands facing each police force and the relative impact of local
factors on forces. We have engaged closely with the policing sector throughout the
review, and this work continues.</p>
