Police forces are committed to ensuring value for money for the public

National Police Chiefs’ Council Lead for Finance, Chief Constable David Thompson said:

“Police forces are committed to ensuring value for money for the public. We welcome transparent benchmarking data being shared across policing as an important part of securing this value. There will of course be good reasons for variations in many cases. Different specifications of products required for different circumstances or contracts signed at different dates. We are however working hard to converge these requirements through the Collaboration in Law Enforcement Procurement Programme. This has already seen value being delivered in vehicle procurement, interpreters and uniforms. Further funds are being invested to strengthen this work.”
