Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police officers were convicted of a criminal offence in each of the last five years.

The Home Office does not hold the information requested centrally.

The Home Office collects and publishes information on the outcomes of criminal investigations involving police officers, following a public complaint or internal conduct allegation. These data were first collected for the 2015/16 financial period. The Home Office does not hold data on criminal investigations that took place prior to 01/04/2015.

Data on the outcomes of criminal investigations in 2015/16 can be found in the misconduct section of the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales
