Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many traffic police officers were employed in each police force area in each of the last five years.

The requested data has been published for each year for 2012 to 2014 as part of the July Police Workforce publication, but for ease of reference, the data for the last five years have been drawn together into a single table.

The table provided shows the number of full-time equivalent police officers within the traffic function for each police force area in England and Wales, as at 31 March 2010 to 31 March 2014. Staff with multiple responsibilities (or designations) are recorded under their primary role or function.
