This report provides members of the Scottish Police Authority with an overview of the Draft Budget for 2021/22. 

The Scottish Police Authority has a legal obligation, before the beginning of each financial year, to provide details of how it intends to allocate the financial resources it expects to have available. This paper presents the proposed 2021/22 Revenue, Capital and Reform budgets for final approval. The proposed budgets do not account for the cost of morbid toxicology or COP26, both of which are assumed be funded in full by Scottish and UK Governments.
