How we generate income
Income Generation’s mission is to provide us with opportunities to deliver services and quality to the force’s strategic and policing plans, above that which would be available with our statutory funding.
Improvements are made through use of funds or resources acquired through:
- bids and grants
- sponsorship and donations
- trading
- cost reduction
- chargeable services
- our charitable trust
Examples of services that have been previously provided include:
- actions on local drug issues, through a Home Office grant which provided additional Drug Testing Custody Officers and Drug Lead Officer
- deployment of additional Police Officers and PCSOs in South Bedfordshire, following purchase of additional special police services in ‘hot spot’ areas
- sponsorship of a Special Constabulary saloon vehicle which assisted the deployment of voluntary Police Officers to incidents
- sponsorship of the Bedfordshire Police Awards annual event, which recognises excellence within Police family and the general public, for policing related achievements
If you feel that you can help us through identification of funding streams to apply for, to sponsor the force for a particular service area or just wish to make a donation to either the force (for crime related activities) or to the Bedfordshire Police Partnership Trust, please contact the Bedfordshire Police.
