Police officer uplift, England and Wales

Throughout the duration of the Police Officer Uplift recruitment campaign, data have been published on a quarterly basis in January, April, July and October, each year. Each bulletin provided provisional data for the most recent quarter, and finalised data were published in the next quarter. The provisional releases have allowed for the timely reporting of police officer uplift figures as each release covered data up to the end of the previous month (that is, the April release covered data up to 31 March). The finalised data were then published in the next quarter, allowing forces time to complete additional data quality checks, which may have resulted in small revisions. This release therefore updates the provisional “as at 31 March” figures published in April 2023 to finalised data.
