Thames Valley Police faces nearly £9M funding gap despite UK's £19.5B pledge, risking service cuts.
Thames Valley Police faces a nearly £9 million funding shortfall despite a UK government pledge of up to £19.5 billion for police forces, with Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Barber calling the decision "terrible news" and criticizing the outdated funding formula.
The shortfall forces tough choices, including delaying projects and depleting reserves, even as the force maintains frontline services.
The government says the funding boost, along with upcoming reforms, will combat crime and free officer time.
A public consultation on the 2026/27 policing precept ends January 2.
