Police

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police detective vacancies there are by region.

Answer

Decisions about the recruitment and retention of police officers and staff are the responsibility of chief constables and police and crime commissioners, supported by the College of Policing.

In her last annual remit letter, the Home Secretary asked the independent Police Remuneration Review Body to consider evidence and proposals from police partners on boosting recruitment and retention in shortage groups. We look forward to receiving their recommendations later this year.
