The Portfolio
The Police Commissioner is currently delivering an £130m investment plan to transform Merseyside Police stations and facilities. The strategy focusses on putting more money into frontline policing by selling old, out-dated and inefficient buildings and replacing them with more cost-effective, flexible and fit-for-purpose facilities. By delivering this strategy, the PCC will save £2.5million every year on the cost of running the police estate – protecting 65 police officer posts each year. The money for all the projects are completely separate from, and cannot be diverted to, the funding used to pay for Merseyside Police’s officers and staff.
