| 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. |
| DCA (RAG) | Green |
| DCA text: | Compared to financial year 21/22-Q4, the DCA rating at 22/23-Q4 increased from Amber (IPA rating) to Green (SRO rating). This is primarily due to the following factors. With the support of the PUP, policing across England and Wales, recruited 20,000 additional officers. Stats were published by the Home Office on 26 April 2023, that showed that as at 31 March 23, 20,951 additional officers have been recruited. This achievement is testament to the hard work of policing and the support of the collaborative programme. So much so, that the PUP won Project Delivery Team of the Year Award at the 2023 Government Project Delivery Award. The programme continues to prepare for closure by the end of Quarter 2 23/24, with the IPA undertaking a Gate 5 review in June 2023, before submitting formal closure documentation over the summer to the HO and IPA. The programme is working with the HO and the IPA to prepare for closure by the end of Quarter 2 23/24. |

| WLCost text: | Compared to financial year 21/22-Q4, the project's departmental-agree Whole Life Cost at 22/23-Q4 increased from 3646m. to 3649m. This is primarily due to the following factors. The Whole Life Cost of the Uplift is 3.6 billion over 5 years. The 1.2 billion that was previously reported reflected the additionality each year and central funding to 21/22. The 3.6 billion reflects the totality of funding from 19/20 to 22/23. In 19/20 PCCs were provided 28.8 million to kick-start recruitment. In2020/2021,700 million was allocated to PCCs atthe 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 425 million has been provided to policing - 423 million to PCCs and 2 million to CoLP for fraud. The previous years 700 million was maintained in the baseline. For 22/23, PCCs were provided a further 550 million for the remaining 8,000 additional officers support financial pressures. The 23/24 Police Settlement provides 3 million for programme closure in 23/24. The settlement also provides funding for forces to maintain additional officers. |
