I am not sure what you mean by "response" duties but Essex Police publishes details of staffing in a report "Workforce Monitoring" which can be found at the following link: <http://www.essex.police.uk/pdf/eqsumrep....> http://www.essex.police.uk/pdf/eqsumrep....
For the purpose of section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), this part of my response serves as a formal notification of refusal of your request on the basis that the exemption given at section 21 of the FOIA applies (Information accessible by other means).
I hope the information provided is of use.

Dear Steve Grayton,
Thank you for your response. The clarification below is proving helpful for other forces to supply the information required, so I hope it will assist you.
By "Response Duty" we mean officers assigned to respond to calls from the public, presumably those on shift duties, who would attend calls from the public, such as beat officers, police vehicle drivers, dog officers, traffic etc. (Inspector, Sergeant, PC)
By "Administerial" we mean those officers specifically assigned to roles that are office based, such as audit, police administrative roles that by virue of the job, mean that they work in an office for their tour as opposed to responding to public calls."
Many thanks,
Steve Bennett
