Police: Termination of Employment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police officers have left each police force since 4 July 2024.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Home Office collects and publishes data on the number of police officers who leave the service in England and Wales, broken down by Police Force Area (PFA), on an annual basis in the ‘Police Workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin which can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales.
The latest information covers the period to 31 March 2024. Data from 4 July 2024 are not held centrally. The ‘Leavers Open Data Table’ that accompanies the main statistical release contains information on the number of police officers that left the police service, in each financial year, from the year ending March 2007 to March 2024, is available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/669a917cce1fd0da7b59294f/open-data-table-police-workforce-leavers-240724.ods
Data for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 is due for publication in Summer 2025.
