PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Police: Hampshire (15 October 2019)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the change in FTE police numbers in Hampshire (a) in 2019 (b) in subsequent years.

Asked by:
Damian Hinds (Conservative)

Answer

The Home Office collects and publishes statistics on the number of police officers in each Police Force Area (PFA) in England and Wales in the annual ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin.

The number of officers in Hampshire in each year from 31 March 2007 to 31 March 2019, by headcount and full-time equivalence (FTE), can be found in open data tables available here:

We have also announced the allocation of 156 additional officers in Hampshire by the end of 2020/21 as part of the Police Uplift Programme.

These new officers will be in addition to those hired to fill existing vacancies and the extra officers already being recruited due to the increase in police funding for 2019-20.
