Devon and Cornwall's police and crime commissioner is hoping local residents will support his proposal to put council tax up again next year.
In 2013, the portion paid to the force went up by two per cent, the equivalent of three pounds per head.
This week, a letter has been written to the policing minister by the six South West PCCs asking for permission to put this up further without triggering a referendum.
Mr Hogg says he wants to keep officer numbers above 3000 and this will help to achieve it.
