Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police officers in each force area were assigned to response in each of the last five years.
The table provided shows the number and proportion of full-time equivalent police officers within the response function for each police force area in England and Wales, as at 31 March 2010 to 31 March 2014.
The table also includes the number of full-time equivalent police officers within the neighbourhoods function as some forces are unable to make a clear distinction between these two functions.
