Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) police officers of the rank of constable up to chief inspector, and (2) police civilian employees, have been made redundant in the last year from each police force.

The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the number of police officers, police community support officers, police staff, designated officers and special constables leaving the police force as at 31 March each year in the ‘Police Workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin. However, this does not include a specific category for redundancies, and that information is not centrally held by the Home Office.
