Written Question
Friday 18th January 2019
Asked by:
Wes Streeting (Labour - Ilford North)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) police officers, (b) police community support officers, (c) non-uniformed police staff, (d) special constables, (e) designated officers, (f) dogs and (g) horses were deployed in (i) the London Borough of Redbridge and (ii) the Metropolitan Police Service area in each year since 2010.
Answered by Nick Hurd
The Home Office collects and publishes statistics on the number of police officers, police staff, designated officers, police community support officers and special constables employed by each police force in England and Wales on a bi-annual basis. These data are published in the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletins.
The Home Office collects this information at Police Force Area level only. Data on the number of police officers, police staff, designated officers, police community support officers and special constables in the Metropolitan Police Service, as at 31 March each year and going back to March 2007, can be found in the accompanying Open Data Table: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/629362/open-data-table-police-workforce.ods
The Home Office does not hold information on the total number of dogs or horses deployed by police forces.

Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many 999 calls were downgraded from I to S grade within 15 minutes of receiving the initial call in each month of 2018.
Answered by Nick Hurd
The Home Office does not collect this data. Law enforcement, including the handling of 999 calls is an operational matter for the police.
It is for elected Police Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables to decide how best to manage their communications and response to the public.
