You asked
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I would like to request the following information:
I would like to know how many UK student police officers voluntarily resigned from the police force. By voluntarily resigned, I mean the student officers left the force of their own accord. This information should be presented electronically in spreadsheet format. I have attached a spreadsheet for you to fill out for your convenience, which contains the information I wish to know. The information should contain the following:
The information should be separated by years. There should be a sheet for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. These should follow the financial year.
The information should be separated by the force they work for.
The police officers should be characterised by their entry pathway. These should include: Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, Police Constable Entry Programme, Degree Holder Entry Programme, Detective Degree Holder Entry Programme, Professional Policing Degree Holder, and Police Now Graduate Programmes.
The data should also include their reason for leaving if recorded.
