Views sought on police budget plans

DERBYSHIRE Police and Crime Commissioner Angelique Foster is asking people of Derbyshire for their views as she prepares to set the policing budget for 2023-24.

A new online survey has been launched to determine public opinion on the county’s policing precept – the portion of council tax that helps to fund policing locally. In Derbyshire, only 11% of your council tax bill goes to the police.

The Commissioner is determined to build on the exceptional achievements of the past 12 months by providing the funding to train the increased number of police officers alongside the resources and technology needed to ensure officers are better equipped at tackling the crimes that matter most to local people.
