Q1 - How many acting detective inspectors are the in BCU roles across the Metropolitan Police at 8 April 2024.

Following receipt of your request, I have conducted searches to locate information relevant to your request. These searches failed to locate information that is relevant to your request, therefore the information you have requested is not held by the MPS.

‘Acting’ is not recorded centrally on the MPS HR system. It is a local decision, so not recorded.
