[chrisuk013]

What is the current ratio Police officers to members of the public in the uk in 2023?

I did look but I couldn’t work it out.

Number if police officers divide'd by population of UK.
But it depends on defanitions... do you count community support officers, grades above PC, detectives, admin staff, part timers as one person or as full time equivalent...and remember only 20%- 40% will be on duty at any one time

[DTCwordfan]

According to the Gov. 77,242 FTE police. This implies a ratio of just over one per thousand given the population is officially 67.33 mln as of 2021 or a more accurate factor of 1.15
