Dear West Midlands Police and Crime Panel,

How many police officers are currently employed in the West Midlands?

How many police officers were employed in each of the last 10 years?

In the last 10 years...

How many police officers have been charged for an offence/crime?
what were these crimes (and dates of crimes) and what were the penalties?

How many police officers have been proven guilty to assaulting members of the public/mistreating members of the public?
what were the nature of these (and dates) and what were the penalties?

Has any compensation been issued to the members of the public affected? If so, how much?

I would be most interested in any information held by your organisation regarding my request.

Yours faithfully,

Kathryn Emerson
