Summary
The report ‘Policing in Austerity – One Year On’ presents a range of data on force plans and how they intend to deal with the budget cuts as a result of the Spending Review.
The report presents findings from HMIC support and challenge visits, data provided by forces to HMIC and other data collected by forces. The report follows on from ‘Adapting to Austerity’ which was published in July 2011.
The data used for the report comes from: Home Office crime statistics designated as National Statistics and previously published; data requested by HMIC and provided by police forces; and Local User Satisfaction surveys conducted by forces.
The data from the satisfaction surveys for the year ending December 2011 have not been published elsewhere and are therefore a first release. These data are outside the scope of National Statistics.
