That funding has continued into 2021/22 (year 2) as part of the baseline for policing: with PCCs provided a further £415m for their recruitment, £8m will be added to the existing Counter-Terrorism policing grant, and City of London Police will receive £2m for the fraud element, to recruit the next 6,000 officers. The remaining costs for the programme, including the final additional 8,000 officers, will be provided as part of the Spending Review 2021.
