The Home Office is currently consulting on the formula it uses to fund the police. This is the calculation made which decides how much money is allocated from central Government to police services across the country. In Greater Manchester, police are funded through a combination this grant and money raised locally through council tax. Most of the money comes from the government and the police rely heavily on this grant to deliver policing services.
