Diversity data for applicants to MPS

The request was successful.

Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),

I would like to obtain data on the percentage of successful and unsuccessful applications to the Metropolitan Police over the last 5 years, separated by gender and BAME. This is in addition to the currently available diversity data, which covers the current constitution of the Service and not the number of applications in those categories.

Yours faithfully,

Nev Kingdon

Cyclops on behalf of Peter Deja, Metropolitan Police Service (MPS)
