Response
- How many road vehicles (of all types, such as vans and patrol cars) did West Midlands Police operate, as of 31 December 2019 = 1562
- How many road accidents (crashes, scrapes and other damage) did all these vehicles incur during 2019? = 868
- What was the value of the damage from all these accidents (in repairs, insurance claims and value of written-off vehicles)? = All RTC claims cost £1,709,174. Please note that this includes estimated damage for those not repaired eg. Damage was minor and hence repair not necessary, or the repair is on-going, estimated repairs due to write off and write off value. It also includes costs that were likely to be claimed or in the process of being claimed from a 3rd party. Windscreens are also included even if not damaged through RTC along with criminal damage to vehicles that resulted in a repair.
