MPS officers deceased due to Covid From January 2020 to May 2024

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.24.037699

I note you seek access to the following information:

Since 1 January 2000 how many Metropolitan Constables in total have passed away due exclusively to Covid-19?

CLARIFICATION -
The appropriate date would be between 1 January 2020 and 7 May 2024.

However, as the police may not be able to share the cause of any fatalities, one would like to ask new and separate FOI question's from today's date.

Q1d. Therefore, would you be so kind to share the tragic information: how many fatalities the MPS have recorded in total for all police constables of every rank from constable to Chief Constable including every other rank, between the dates of 1st of January 2020 and the 22nd of May 2024?

Q2d. Furthermore, would you be able to share how we can find out of many of the fatalities from Q1d. received a Covid-19 vaccination?

NEW request aggregated on this case -
would you kindly let us know how many of the potential fatalities with the Metropolitan Police documented between 1 January 2020 and 7 May 2024 were recorded by receiving a Covid-19 Vaccine exemption?

Decision

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

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

How many fatalities the MPS have recorded in total for all police constables of every rank from constable to Chief Constable including every other rank, between the dates of 1 January 2020 and the 22 May 2024?

From January 2020 to May 2024 there have been 7 (seven) officially recorded deaths of police officers due to Covid-19.

Caveat: For a death in service/on duty, a death certificate is submitted to HR as part of the process. Recorded cause of death is based on what is on the official death certificate only. So whilst some officers/staff may have had Covid19 at the time of death, the cause of death may not have been recorded as such due to another existing illness or condition.

Would you be able to share how we can find out of many of the fatalities from Q1d. received a Covid-19 vaccination?

This information is not held by the MPS. It is personal medical information and would only be held by the individual concerned and the NHS.
