Police funding 2019/20
Funding for the police comes both directly from central government and also a proportion of your council tax.

Since 2010 the government has cut the amount of cash they provide to Greater Manchester Police by £215 million. This has resulted in the loss of 2,000 police officers – a 25% reduction...
