Question
Spontaneous Firearms Operations
For each year 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 how many Spontaneous Firearms Operations did the Met undertake broken down by deployment type?
Answer
Date: Tuesday 25 January 2022
Please find the requested information within the table below:
Deployment type has not been included as it would be sensitive information.
The 2020 and 2021 volumes should be treated with caution as they have been significantly affected by the COVID pandemic.
Please also note that the data does not reflect resource demand i.e., one operation does not equal one Armed Response Vehicle, or the period the officers are deployed, both of which are dependent on the type and complexity of the operation.
