The Home Office does not collect information centrally on the locations to which police officers are called out and has made no assessment of recent trends in the number of call outs to bookmakers.

It is for Police and Crime Commissioners to decide police priorities at a local level, and for Chief Constables to determine the most appropriate response in their areas.
