Budget Process
Every year, Peel Regional Police and the Peel Police Service Board work through a detailed budget process to make sure we’re planning responsibly and meeting the evolving needs of our growing community.
Here’s how it works:
| Step 1 - Planning Ahead |
| We look at current and future needs — like staffing, equipment, and infrastructure — and set priorities based on the evolving needs of our growing communities. |
| Step 2 - Building the Budget |
| Our team puts together both the operating budget (day-to-day services) and the capital budget (long-term investments like buildings, technology and vehicles) – planning for today and years ahead. This is year-round process first looks to reallocate funding and staffing from within. It is informed by our Senior Leadership team, our Chief and Deputies, as well as the Board’s Finance Committee. |
| Step 3 - Budget review by Board Finance Committee and presentation to the Peel Police Service Board |
|
The Board’s Finance Committee meet with staff five to six times throughout the year to review finances and discuss budgets. After approval by the Committee, the proposed budget is presented to Peel Police Service Board to make sure our plans and resources support effective and responsible policing in our communities.

|
Following Board approval, the budget is presented to Regional Council and is approved as part for the region’s overall budget.
|
| Step 5 - Putting It Into Action |
| Once the Region of Peel has approved its budget, we will work to deliver what is highlighted in the budget and track progress and spending to make sure we stay on target and enhance public safety and quality of life for the residents, businesses and visitors of Peel Region. |
