Greater Manchester Police: Employment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police officers have served in the Greater Manchester Police force on average in each year since 2008.

Answer

The Home Office collects and publishes data on the size of the police force workforce in England and Wales, broken down by Police Force Area, on a bi-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

These data are collected as a snapshot as at 31 March and 30 September of each year. The Home Office do not collect the average number of police officers serving each year.

Information on the number of police officers in Greater Manchester Police (GMP) as at 31 March each year, from 2007 to 2023, on a full-time equivalent (FTE) and headcount basis, can be found in the ‘Workforce Open Data Table’ here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1172892/open-data-table-police-workforce-260723.ods
