MPS employees dismissed from January 2020 to June 2023

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.23.031198

I note you seek access to the following information:

Please can you let me have the number of Police personnel that have been dismissed from the Metropolitan police in the last three years.

Ideally by rank and broken down for each year by rank.

I would also like to get the equivalent information for the military if you can point me in the right direction as to who to contact.

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

Note: This is a staff count, hearing date within the timeframe and dismissals and would have been dismissed. Would have been dismissed is when a member of staff leaves prior to a hearing, the hearing then determines that they would have been dismissed.

DUTY TO ADVISE AND ASSIST

I note you wish to ascertain similar information from the military, please follow the link below. Advice on how to submit a Freedom of Information Act request to the Ministry of Defence under the heading of ‘How to make an official request for information’.
