Police
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data her Department holds on the cumulative number of years of experience of police officers by force.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the length of service of police officers in post, as at 31 March each year, in the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales.
This data has been published since 2016 and can be found in the open data table ‘Police workforce, England and Wales, 31 March 2024: length of service open data tables’, available at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/669a920ba3c2a28abb50d34d/open-data-table-police-workforce-length-of-service-240724.ods. This breaks down officers’ length of service into grouped categories.
