The proposed precept for Dyfed Powys Police will be put under scrutiny at the first meeting of the Dyfed Powys Police and Crime Panel in 2023.
Panel members will meet on January 27 to discuss the precept and challenge Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn on his budget plans for the coming year.
The panel, made up of members nominated by the four councils in the force area plus two independent members, has the power to approve or veto the proposed police precept.
Local policing is funded from a Home Office grant, as well as contributions from the public via the Council Tax, known as the police precept.
During the meeting Mr Llywelyn will inform the panel of the findings of a recent public consultation on police funding.
Panel Chair, Professor Ian Roffe, said: “We look forward to meeting with the Commissioner to discuss his proposed precept. Households across the country are feeling the strain of the cost of living crisis, therefore any increase in their taxes must be coupled with a reassurance that they will have good value for their money.”
