Since this peak, the number of police officers fell each year up until 2018. Numbers have since risen and, at 31 March 2021, there were around 160,000 police officers operating within the United Kingdom. This was an increase of 3% compared to the number of police officers operating in 2003, but 7% fewer than in 2010. 1 These figures are given in terms of full-time equivalent (FTE) officers, rather than headcount.

Our overall assessment of the force’s 2018/19 performance. 2. Our judgments and summaries of how effectively, efficiently and legitimately the force keeps people safe and reduces crime. 3. Our judgments and any areas for improvement and causes of concern for each component of our inspection. 4. Our detailed findings for each component. Our inspection approach In 2018/19, we adopted an integrated PEEL assessment (IPA) approach to our existing PEEL (police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy) inspections. IPA combines into a single inspection the effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy areas of PEEL. These areas had previously been inspected separately each year. As well as our inspection findings, our assessment is informed by our analysis of: • force data and management statements; • risks to the public; • progress since previous inspections; • findings from our non-PEEL inspections; • how forces tackle serious and organised crime locally and regionally; and • our regular monitoring work.

  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces
    The Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Article Social Media by UK Police Forces Elena M. Egawhary Columbia University, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the various surveillance practices involved in the use of social media for communication and investigation purposes by UK police forces. In doing so, it analyses internal policy documents and official guidance obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests sent to 46 police forces in the United Kingdom. This analysis finds that UK police forces advise their staff to simultaneously engage in both surveillance and counter-surveillance strategies in their use of social media as a policing tool. Introduction The use of social media by UK police forces falls into two broad categories: communication (or engagement) and investigation (or operational use). UK police forces began registering corporate accounts on Twitter and Facebook for communication purposes for the first time in 2008. However, UK police forces’ use of the internet for investigative purposes dates back to April 2001 with the creation of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) to “investigate attacks on the Critical National Infrastructure; major internet based offences of paedophilia, fraud or extortion; information from seized electronic media and gather intelligence on cybercrime and cybercriminals” (Corbitt 2001: 29). Prior to 2001, most of the responsibility for using social networking sites to investigate crime fell to a small number of digital evidence recovery officers who were “swamped and learning on the job” (Thomas 2005) resulting in a reportedly “huge workload” (Goodwin 2005). This suggests that the use of social media in UK policing began in an unstructured way and “on the basis of initiatives by individual officers and subsequently with varying degrees of official support” (Crump 2011: 1).
