  1. Following the original release of this publication on 28 January 2021, an error was spotted in the figures provided by Staffordshire Police for the male and female breakdowns. The data had been provided in the incorrect columns, meaning that the male and female headcount figure (as at 31 December 2020) were the wrong way round. This has been updated in this release and Table U5 of the accompanying data tables has also been corrected.

  2. 'Police workforce, England and Wales, 31 March 2020' data tables uploaded in error, replaced with 'Police Uplift data tables Quarter to 31 December 2020' tables.

  3. First published.
