The Home Office publishes annual statistics on police misconduct, broken down at force-level here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-misconduct-statistics

On 17 January 2023, the Home Secretary launched a Home Office review into the process of police officer dismissals, to ensure that the system is fair and effective at removing officers who are not fit to serve. This will include:

  • An understanding of decision-making at misconduct hearings and accelerated hearings; and
  • Any trends in the use of misconduct sanctions – including dismissals.
