Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of police officers that have left the profession for reasons other than retirement since 2013.

The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the number of police officers leaving the police service in the ‘Police Workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin which can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales

Information on the number of police officer leavers, by leaver type, between 2007 and 2023, on a full-time equivalent and headcount basis, can be found in the ‘Leavers Open Data Table’ here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1172932/open-data-table-police-workforce-leavers-260723.ods
