Police: Forensic Science

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many forensic collision investigators were employed in police forces in England in (1) 2010, and (2) 2023.

Answer

The Home Office does not hold information on the number of forensic collision investigators employed in police forces in England and Wales.

The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the function of police workers, as at 31 March each year, 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. Although it is not possible to identify “forensic collision investigators” specifically from the data.
