The Ministry of Justice does not hold data on individual police forces. However, the Department works closely with the National Police Chiefs Council through a dedicated liaison embedded in HMPPS on a range of common challenges, including Electronic Monitoring of bail cases.

The Ministry of Justice does not hold data centrally on electronic monitoring breaches or outcomes of these breaches.
