The table provided shows the change in the number and proportion of full-time equivalent police officers within the neighbourhoods function in West Yorkshire, as at 31 March 2010 and 31 March 2015.

As HMIC has made clear, there is no simple link between officer numbers and crime levels, between numbers and the visibility of police in the community, or between numbers and the quality of service provided.
