Miss McIntosh:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what long-term funding has been allocated to (a) rural policing, (b) community support officers and (c) neighbourhood police teams. [18666]
Hazel Blears:
We have provided £165 million to police authorities from the Rural Policing Fund since 200001. The annual provision is £30 million. We are currently considering rolling up a number of specific grants, including the Rural Policing Fund, into a single pot for each authority, to give police authorities greater financial flexibility. There are no plans to reduce the current level of funding for each authority.
The Neighbourhood Policing Fund will provide £88 million in 200607 and £340 million in 200708. In addition, we will continue to support the costs of community support officers (CSOs) recruited in the first three rounds from 2002 onwards. The grant will assist the police service to reach our target of 24,000 CSOs by 2008 and will support police authorities in building their own Neighbourhood Policing Teams.
Mr. Willis:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police officers there were as of 1 April 2005 in each police force in England and Wales; and what the percentage at each rank was of the total establishment. [23933]
Hazel Blears:
The breakdown of Police Service strength for 31 March 2005 was published on 25 July 2005 and is available in the Library and on www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs05/hosb1205.pdf.

Mrs. Dorries:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps the Government is taking to improve (a) community engagement and (b) neighbourhood policing in Bedfordshire; and if he will make a statement. [24367]
Hazel Blears:
The Government is committed to every area in England and Wales benefiting from dedicated, visible, accessible and responsive neighbourhood policing teams by 2008. A key aim of these teams will be to build more effective engagement with the public.
To support this, the Home Office and the Association of Police Authorities convened the National Practitioner Panel for Community Engagement in Policing. The panel has created a Guide to Community Engagement which is a resource for all policing practitioners, and which contains both practical and strategic advice for practitioners who want to develop or improve their approach to engagement. The guide is supported by a database of case studies which showcases recent and ongoing work around the country, and encourages policing practitioners to network with, and learn from, their peers.
The Government is working closely with the police service to develop neighbourhood policing, initially within pathfinder areas in every force. In Bedfordshire, this is Luton Division.
Mr. Hollobone:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will provide additional financial and other support to the Northamptonshire police. [24190]
Hazel Blears
[holding answer 1 November 2005]: Northamptonshire received an excellent grant settlement this year. General grants increased by 5.5 per cent. to £67.8 million, significantly higher than the 3.75 per cent. minimum increase guaranteed to all police authorities. The force has also received around £7.5 million for specific grants for initiatives such as the crime fighting fund, which has helped maintain the record number of police officers, and for capital.
Details of the provisional police funding settlement for 200607, and for 200708 as part of the move towards three-year settlements, will be announced in late November/early December.
The police standards unit have been working with Northamptonshire police since spring 2004 on a number of projects to help improve performance and the force has been provided with just under £1 million to support this work.
