Police recorded crime figures by Police Force Area and Community Safety Partnership areas (which equate in the majority of instances, to local authorities).

Numbers of police officers, police civilian staff, and Police Community Support Officers in the Metropolitan Police Force. Figures are reported by MOPAC to the GLA's Police and Crime Committee each month. The figures are full-time equivalent figures (FTE) in order to take account of part-time working, job sharing etc, and do not represent a measure of headcount. For more information, here

The data shows the number and percentage of people working for the police, by ethnicity. It covers the 43 police forces in England and Wales, and the British Transport Police. Data is shown by: ethnicity (police officers) ethnicity over time (police officers) ethnicity and area (police officers) ethnicity and rank over time (police officers) role and percentage of ethnic group (all police staff) ethnicity (special constables only)

These CSV files provide street-level crime, outcome, and stop and search information, broken down by police force and 2021 lower layer super output area (LSOA).

The Police Service of Northern Ireland does not currently provide stop and search data.

The data was collated from over 2000 female police officers in relation to the wearing of body armour, bra type and size, discomfort and ability to perform simple tasks. The data relates to officers from the police forces of England and Wales only, collected in 2016.

Introduction

Body armour, a staple in modern policing and security, has undergone a remarkable transformation from its rudimentary beginnings to the sophisticated, high-tech equipment of today. Initially designed to protect against blunt force trauma, its capabilities have expanded to include protection against ballistic threats, edged weapons, and even chemical agents.
Historical Perspective The earliest forms of body armour were essentially padded garments designed to absorb the impact of blows. Over time, materials like metal and leather were incorporated to enhance protection. However, these early iterations were often heavy, restrictive, and offered limited protection. The advent of modern synthetic materials marked a significant turning point. Kevlar, a synthetic fibre with exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, revolutionised body armour design. It enabled the creation of lighter, more flexible, and more effective protective garments.

The Modern Body Armour

Contemporary body armour is a complex system consisting of multiple layers designed to stop or deflect projectiles. The core protective elements are typically made from advanced materials like Kevlar, Dyneema, or ceramic, each with its own specific properties. - Ballistic Panels: These are the primary protective layers, designed to stop bullets. They are often made from a combination of materials for optimal performance. - Soft Armour: Located behind the ballistic panels, soft armour helps to distribute the impact of a projectile, reducing the risk of injury.
- Stab and Slash Resistant Layers: Incorporated into some body armour, these layers provide protection against edged weapons.
- Additional Features: Many modern body armour systems include features like trauma pads, which help to distribute the impact of blunt force trauma, and hydration systems.

Feedback from female officers has shown that body armour can be uncomfortable and painful to wear for long periods of time.

Body Armour for Female Officers: A Long-Overdue Development

Traditionally, body armour was designed with male physiques in mind. This oversight resulted in ill-fitting and uncomfortable equipment for female officers, compromising both comfort and protection. The introduction of gender-specific body armour in England and Wales in 2023 represents a significant step forward in officer safety and well-being. The third-generation body armour is tailored to individual body shapes and sizes, offering a better fit and enhanced protection.
Key features of the new body armour include: - Customised Fit: Designed to accommodate the specific contours of the female body.
- Lighter Weight: Reducing physical strain and fatigue.
- Increased Flexibility: Enhancing mobility and comfort. - Enhanced Protection: Offering superior coverage, including critical areas like the neck and armpits. - Advanced Materials: Incorporating hydrophobic, self-cleaning, anti-microbial, and heat-repellent properties.

The new armour is designed to mold to the female form and keep the wearer cooler. It also positions equipment for easy access and minimises load to help with...
