Special Constables By Patrol Status

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.23.030082

I note you seek access to the following information:

Please can you provide me with a breakdown of Special Constable numbers, broken down by their individual patrol status.

For example, the count of current members of your Special Constabulary who are Accompanied Patrol Status (APS), Directed Patrol Status (DPS), Qualified Special Constable (QSC), or Qualified Special Constable - Full (QSC-F).

If you have not adopted the Policing Education Qualifications Framework (PEQF) for your Special Constabulary, please provide the breakdown of officers who have achieved Independent Patrol Status (IPS) and those who have not.

Decision

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

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

We currently have 1,466 special constables in the Met, with 791 holding Independent Patrol Status - we have not yet transitioned over to the Policing Education Qualifications Framework model.
