Budgets

The Police and Crime Commissioner consults with the Chief Constable in planning the annual budget which includes a separate force budget.

This takes into consideration funding from government and other sources, and balances the expenditure needs of the policing service against the level of local taxation. 

This should meet the statutory requirements to achieve a balanced budget and be completed under the statutory timeframe. 

The Police and Crime Commissioner issues the Chief Constable with a separate budget on an annual basis.  Details of this budget are on the website of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire.
