Lancashire Constabulary: Dismissal

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police(a) officers and (b) staff have been dismissed from Lancashire constabulary in the last three years.

Answer

The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the number of police officers and staff leaving the police service due to dismissal 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

Information on the number of police officers and staff leaving the police service due to dismissal, in Lancashire Constabulary, between the years ending March 2007 to 2023 can be found in the ‘Leavers Open Data Table’ here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1172932/open-data-table-police-workforce-leavers-260723.ods

Dismissals includes individuals who have been required to resign, made compulsorily redundant, or have had their contract terminated. While these figures will include dismissals for misconduct, they are not exclusively misconduct or performance cases, as they also include redundancies and contract terminations.
