Details
This is an ad-hoc statistical release of management information that provides provisional revisions to the police officer and police community support officer neighbourhood policing figures originally published in the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales: 31 March 2024’ statistics (published on 24 July 2024).
Following concerns raised by police forces about the accuracy of their previously published neighbourhood policing figures, in January 2025 the Home Office asked the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) to conduct a data validation exercise on the March 2024 figures. Despite the data being confirmed by contacts in each individual police force ahead of publication in July 2024, this exercise uncovered inaccuracies in the figures.
Data in this release, which has been provided to the Home Office as management information by the NPCC, summarises those provisional revisions to March 2024 neighbourhood policing data.
