Ihave just received a reply from the home office about matchfunding, The decision to require match funding for pcsos was taken by the government on the basis that community safety is the responsibility of all local community safety partners, as such it was appropriate that local partners committed to funding neighbourhood policing locally.
Asurvey conducted by the Association of Policing Authorities (APA)in 2010 found that 15% of PCSOS were fulkly or part funded by organisations other than the police. Of non-police funding, 78%came from local authorities, 12% came from the private sector, 5%from the education/youth sector, 3%from partnerships (e.g.CSPS) and2%from the voluntary or community sector.
From April 2013, as part of the governments commitment to greater local accountability and decision-making, the funding was consolidated in to the Poilce main grant. It is now for local Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCS), in consultation with their Chief Constables, to take decisions on the funding and resourcing of neighbourhood policing and PCSOS, in response to local needs.
