Value for money profiles

Value for money profiles provide benchmarking information on:

• what the police are spending their budgets on;
• staffing levels by grade and function; and
• outputs and outcomes in a comparable format.

These profiles are based on data provided by the police. For a fuller explanation of the sources and quality of the data, see 'Some data is better than others - a discussion of data quality in HMIC's Value for money profiles'.

We've also provided a user guide to help you read them.

Figures have been amended for Hampshire and Hertfordshire on the basis of revised workforce figures submitted to the Home Office after initial publication on 18 March 2010.
