The budget for the running of the Office of the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) is £1.3million for the year 2018/19, which is £200,000 less than in previous years.
The PCC has handed this £200,000 saving over to Kent Police to help boost frontline policing and any further underspend will be invested in community safety initiatives which support the PCC's Safer in Kent Plan.
In addition, the OPCC receives money from Government to use to commission services which support victims and witnesses of crime in Kent.
