A nationally co-ordinated detached duty scheme has been operating since 21 October 2013. Information on the number of officers serving on detached duty before the introduction of the national scheme is not available.<\/p>
<\/p>
The national scheme is co-ordinated by the National Offender Management Service.<\/p>
<\/p>
Information on the average weekly provision of staff, in terms of full time equivalent officers, that were provided as part of the nationally co-ordinated detached duty scheme, is shown in the table below for January to September 2014, which is the date of the latest published HR data.<\/p>
