Have YOUR Say….
Many thanks to those of you who have taken the time to submit your views through my online survey on funding our police service for 2023-24.

As your elected Police and Crime Commissioner, an important part of my job is to set the budget for policing – and that means making sure the Chief Constable has the resources he needs to effectively police Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

With the current cost-of-living pressures impacting on people’s incomes, believe me, asking you to contribute more to police funding is not something I want to do. 

However it is important to remember that inflation applies to policing as well – with police vehicles, fuel and training all costing more than they did this time last year.

In order to continue to fund the service you receive, I am proposing a 19p weekly increase (for Band A properties), 29p for Band D properties. 

Your views are welcome – please do complete the survey before the deadline of
13th January (5pm). 

You can visit the survey here:
The Police & Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire | Police funding 2023-24 survey (cambridgeshire-pcc.gov.uk).

I would like to wish you all a very happy and healthy new year.

Best wishes

Darryl
