Answer for Operational Policing Measure

Written answer provided 29 October 2013:

The tables below show the Operational Policing Measure (OPM) analysis of all staff whose role attracts an OPM code for each of the years from 2008/09 to 2012/13.

Over this period the proportion of staff in operational roles has marginally decreased from 60.4% to 60.2%. This is a consequence of the decision to reduce the number of PCSOs, over 99% of whom are in operational roles. This has largely been offset by the increased proportion of police officers who are in operational roles (76.7% increasing to 77.4%).

The OPM analysis is a retrospective analysis of our workforce and does not form part of our budgeting process. Therefore it is not possible to give predictions about the relative proportions in future years.
