Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police officers have been employed in Harlow in each year since the financial year 2018-19.

The Home Office collects and publishes data on the size of the police workforce by Police Force Area in England and Wales on a biannual basis in the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin.

Data are collected at Police Force Area level only, and lower levels of geography such as Harlow are not held by the Home Office.

The latest available data for the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) officers employed in each Police Force Area, covering the situation as at 30 September 2020, are available here:
