| Description: | In July 2019 the government committed to recruit 20,000 additional police officers in England and Wales by March 2023. As a result, the Police Uplift Programme was established to support the 43 police forces across England and Wales in the recruitment of the additional officers. The programme is a collaboration between the Home Office, the National Police Chiefs' Council and the College of Policing, reflecting the nature of policing. |

Nationally forces exceeded 12,000 additional officers by 31 March 2022. The quarterly release of 27 April 2022 shows that as at 31 March 22, 13,576 additional officers have been recruited. Four forces did not achieve their year two allocation. Those forces have provided the programme with profiles for 22/23 that show when they will achieve those allocations in year three. The programme is supporting those forces.Year three allocations were provided at the Police Settlement for 22/23 - 8,000 officers to be recruited, of which 425 officers are for growth in to regional SOC policing. Forces have profiled their year three recruitment. The 22/23 Police Settlement set out that Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) will receive an additional £550m for the recruitment of the final 8,000 additional officers, continued growth in police staff to support officers, and other funding pressures by the end of March 2023. |

| WLCost text: | Compared to2021-Q4, the projects Baseline Whole Life Cost increased from 1259.50 (£m) to 3646.30 (£m). This is primarily due to the following factors: The WLC of the Uplift is £3.6bn over 5 years. The £1.2bn that was previously reported reflected the additionality each year and central funding to 21/22. The £3.6bn reflects the totality of funding from 19/20 to 22/23. In 19/20 PCCs were provided £28.8m to kick-start recruitment. In?2020/2021,?£700m was allocated to PCCs at?the Police Settlement for the first 6,000 additional officers, with some funding for financial pressures. For 21/22 for the next 6,000 additional officers, up to £425m has been provided to policing - £423m to PCCs and £2m to CoLP for fraud. The previous years' £700m was maintained in the baseline. For 22/23, PCCs were provided a further £550m for the remaining 8,000 additional officers support financial pressures. Year 1 and 2 funding was baselined. The costs of the programme increase each year primarily due to salary costs increasing as officers move up through pay scales. |
