People Committee - 28 February 2023

Date : 28 February 2023

Location : online


Office/Staff Numbers

Officer Numbers have risen this quarter in comparison to last quarter by 69.17 FTE.  However, with the exceptions of LP East, CJSD, CSD & SCD all other divisions/local policing areas recorded a decrease in FTE. 

In terms of workforce proportion SCD had the most significant increase with +1.09%, LP West had the most significant decrease with -0.68%. The SCD increase is due to a reparenting of Intelligence functions to a central point.

Representation of female officers continue to shift toward a more balanced workforce, the proportion of female officers increased at all ranks with the exception of PI and CI, though it should be noted this is a small cohort of employees. 

Staff numbers have increased by 34.76 FTE (incl. SPA) in comparison to last quarter and total FTE is now 5,821.63.

Temp ranks increased by 1.09% since last quarter and a higher proportion of female officers occupy temporary ranks with the difference widening by 0.32% in comparison to last quarter.
