Finance
The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner is responsible for agreeing the budget for Essex Police and Essex County Fire and Rescue Service and for overseeing how both of these budgets are spent. As well as receiving funding from Government grants, the PFCC is also responsible for setting the amount of money you will pay for policing (known as the policing precept) and fire and rescue (known as the fire precept) as part of your annual council tax bill.
In addition to agreeing the budget for Essex Police and Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, the PFCC also scrutinises spending by both services and their financial performance and ensures maximum value for money is secured in all areas.
Our objective is to recognise and prevent the harm caused to victims by the crime they experience, and the need to protect those who are most vulnerable to becoming victims.
