This allowed a more refined figure of 23,000 assaults on police officers in 2015/16 to be estimated.</p><p>We are continuing to work with forces to better capture assaults that involve injury to the police in recorded crime data.</p><p>Recorded crime data on “assaults without injury on a constable” are published at Community Safety Partnership (equivalent to boroughs in London) and Police Force Area level, and are available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables</a></p><p>There are no current plans to collect this data at parliamentary constituency level.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis grouped question UIN 49010 question first answered 01/11/2016 16:25:11 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
