<p>The Minister for Policing and the Fire Service engaged with every police force
in England and Wales to better understand the changing demands on policing, and how
these can best be managed. We recognised that the police are seeing increased demands
as more complex crime is being reported, including previously hidden crimes such as
Child Sexual Exploitation and modern slavery, and from the terrorist threat.</p><p>We
are helping the police to respond to changing demand with a £460m increase in overall
funding in 2018/19, including increased funding for local policing through Council
Tax precept.</p>
