Suicide
Dear Gloucestershire Constabulary,
I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information.
I would like to receive the following figures on police officer and staff deaths, with separate figures for police officers, PCSOs and police staff:
- In each of the last five calendar years, how many police officers/PCSOs/staff employed by your force died (whether or not in the course of their duties)?
- Of those, how many were recorded as having died by suicide each year?
- Figures broken down by cause of death in each of the last five calendar years.
- In aggregate - how many were subject of a criminal or misconduct or gross misconduct investigations.
Yours faithfully,
Simon Jacobs
