Regarding the public funding for the National Crime Agency, the figures are as follows:
- 15/16: Resource DEL (excluding depreciation): 371; Capital DEL, 40
- 16/17: Resource DEL (excluding depreciation): 384; Capital DEL, 50
- 17/18: Resource DEL (excluding depreciation): 387; Capital DEL, 50
- 18/19: Resource DEL (excluding depreciation): 377; Capital DEL, 50.

Regarding the public funding for the regional organised crime units (ROCUs), funding is provided through a combination of PCC funding, Home Office Grant funding (including around £20m ROCU grant per annum) and the Police Transformation Fund. The total figures are as follows:

- 15/16: Just over £101m.
- 16/17: Just under £119m (they were also granted just over £2.6m in capital).
- 2017/18: Just over £129m (they were granted capital of just over £2.4m).
In 2018/19, the ROCU network has a combined operating budget of around £166.4m with a total capital expenditure of around £4.6m. It should be noted that the 2018/19 figure excludes London, but we can confirm that London was allocated just over £2.1m through the Home Office ROCU Grant.
