<p>The Home Office collects and publishes data on the size of the police workforce
in England and Wales on a biannual basis in the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’
statistical bulletin, available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales"
target="_blank">Police workforce England and Wales statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a></p><p>These
data are collected by Police Force Area only, and lower levels of geography, such
as Parliamentary Constituencies or Metropolitan Boroughs are not collected. Data on
the number of police officers in Cheshire Police, on both a full-time equivalent (FTE)
and a headcount basis, as at 31 March each year since 2007 are available in the Open
Data Tables that accompany the release here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1005761/open-data-table-police-workforce-280721.ods"

next release of ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’, which will cover the situation
as at March 2022, is scheduled for release on Wednesday 27th July.</p><p>While the
‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin remains the key measure
of the size of the police workforce, throughout the duration of the Police Officer
Uplift Programme, the Home Office also publishes a quarterly update on the number
of officers (headcount only) in England and Wales by Police Force Area. The latest
release contains provisional headcount figures for 31 March 2022, which are available
here: Police Officer uplift statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</p>
