Office spending
The budget for the running of the Office of the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) is £1.5million for the year 2021/22, which is less than when Mr Scott came into office, and also less than the costs associated with the old Kent Police Authority which was replaced by the OPCC in 2012.
In addition, the OPCC receives money from Government to use to commission services which support victims and witnesses of crime in Kent.
Spends and grants over £500
The Office of the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner is committed to delivering an open and transparent service.
Below you will find details of all outgoings from the OPCC worth more than £500, including any commissioned services and grants awarded, dating back to April 2016.
If you require any of these files in a more accessible format, please let us know.
