Defibrillators: Emergency Services
(asked on 25th March 2026) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of police vehicles are currently equipped with defibrillators.
This question was answered on 9th April 2026
The Home Office does not collect data on the number of emergency police vehicles fitted with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
Police forces are operationally independent from Government, and therefore decisions on the use of AEDs would be an operational matter for them.
