The Prevent programme ceased all future funding of counter-terrorism intelligence officers from the beginning of the 2011-12 financial year. Counter-terrorism intelligence officers are now funded by the main Police CT Grant. The number of counter-terrorism intelligence officers is not held centrally.

Of the 321 new dedicated Prevent police officers in 2008, 80 were counter-terrorism intelligence officers, 67 of whom were funded by the Office of Security and Counter Terrorism, distributed across 42 forces.
