Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many administrative staff have been recruited by the Metropolitan Police Service in each year since 2010; and how many such staff are (a) of BAME origin and (b) women.

The tables provided show the number of police officer and police staff joiners,
by joining type, for the Metropolitan Police Service from 2009/10 to 2013/14.
The tables include minority ethnic and female breakdowns.

Of the 79 people who provisionally accepted a place on the Metropolitan
Police’s innovative new programme Police Now, 16% are from an ethnic minority
background (correct as of January 2015).
