I would like to request the following information for West Midlands Police, since 2018:
The number of Police Officers and Police Staff who have failed drug tests.

Please could you provide the following information broken down by calendar years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (or the latest available data):

a) the total number of allegations of misconduct or gross misconduct made against officers in your force

1) The number of police officers that have been investigated for their conduct in text messages, on WhatsApp and/or other social media sites by calendar year, since 01 February 2020.

The number of motorists caught drink driving / under the influence of alcohol in your force area, broken down by month for 2021 and 2022 to date.

How many compensation payouts were made to a) police officers and b) civilian staff in each of the previous financial years a) 2017/18 b) 2018/19 c) 2019/20 d) 2020/21 e) 2021/22 for accident at work claims

I am writing to you today to receive a full equipment list for your Force Support Unit Drone Team.

Are settlements or pay outs for such civil claims handled by your legal department, rather than by your professional standards department?
