FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 101003
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 22nd July 2021. Please find below the response to your request:
Under the Freedom of Information Act, please tell me:
How many officers in your force are dedicated to investigating fraud?
How many officers are in your force in total?
Can I please have an annual breakdown for each of the last 10 calendar years (up to and including 2021) to show the running total of how many officers on the force were dedicated to fraud. For each of those years, please also detail how many were recruited to fight fraud, and how many left the fraud team. Please also breakdown the reason why those officers left the fraud team – for example, did they retire, step back on medical leave, or were they moved on to a different team?
