The Home Office collects and publishes statistics on the number of police officers who are suspended (as at 31st March each year) and the number who are on restricted or adjusted duties in each police force in England and Wales on an annual basis.

These data are published in the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletins. The latest data available on the number of police officers who are suspended, as at 31 March 2019, can be found in Table W2 of the accompanying Data Tables:

Data on the number of police officers who were suspended as at 31 March in each of the last 5 years in each police constabulary can be found in Police Workforce Absence open data:

It is not possible to separate out officers on restricted duties from those on adjusted duties.

The Home Office does not collect data on the number of other police employees who are suspended or on adjusted/restricted duties.
