Officer Numbers - 1364/19

Date Responded 13 November 2019

Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')

As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.

You asked:

  • The force numbers (numbers of police officers employed by your force) over the last five years.
  • Please separate these figures into yearly figures (by calendar year, not financial year).
  • Please separate these figures by rank of officer within your force.

In Response:

Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the HR Department of Northumbria Police.  I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by Northumbria Police.

 

I am able to disclose the located information to you as follows.

 

To note – figures will obviously fluctuate throughout the course of a year and therefore figures are as 31 December for each calendar year.  As 2019 is not yet complete this is as of the time shown in the table below.

Disclaimer

Due to the different methods of recording information across 43 forces, a specific response from one constabulary should not be seen as an indication of what information could be supplied (within cost) by another. Systems used for recording these figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data. For this reason responses between forces may differ, and should not be used for comparative purposes.

The information we have supplied to you is likely to contain intellectual property rights of Northumbria Police. Your use of the information must be strictly in accordance with the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 (as amended) or such other applicable legislation. In particular, you must not re-use this information for any commercial purpose.
