Notes

The figures above are the in-force headcount reported by the Home Office at the latest published cut. They include warranted officers (constable through chief constable) and police staff (intelligence analysts, CSIs, custody detention officers, control room operators, back-office roles). Specials and PCSOs are reported separately by some forces; we aggregate from the official table.
