Dwindling numbers, more work?
Dear Gloucestershire Police and Crime Commissioner,
'Between March 2010 and March 2018, police forces in England and Wales lost 21,732 officers' - according to BBC source.
Does a drop in Police numbers amount to an increased workload, and result in officers taking on roles their not qualified for?
Yours faithfully,
Morgan Francis

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your email which has been received by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire.
The information that you are requesting is held by the Constabulary and not the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner as it relates to operational policing matters and these fall under the remit of the Chief Constable. As we are a separate legal entity I can forward on to the Constabulary with your permission for you or you resend to them directly yourself - the direct email is [email address]
Regards,
