"Police forces in England and Wales will benefit from one of the best funding settlements in recent years. A lot of the money will go on Criminal Justice IT, and the new Airwave communications system.

Total funding for law and order will stand at nearly ?12 billion in 2005/6. Publishing the final police funding settlement for 2005/6, Ms Blears outlined how the Government's drive to build safer, stronger communities is reflected in the increase in total police funding of nearly 750 million this year"
