Sick Leave (529A/23)

Request

I would like to request the number of officers who went on sick leave last year as a result of injuries sustained in the line of duty (as covered by Operation Hampshire).

Response

Please find our response below.

For the period 1st January – 31st December 2022, 67 Police Officers took time off where the reason for absence was recorded as ‘Assault – On Duty’.

Some of these officers may have been off more than once during the year, but in total there were 67 different officers in that time period.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting those data.

The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into account when those data are used.

If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data we would ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies, or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.
