(1) This table contains full-time equivalent figures that have been rounded to the nearest whole number.  Because of rounding, there may be an apparent discrepancy between totals and the sums of the constituent items.
(2) The figure for the British Transport Police for March has been revised since it was last published. The revised figure is for officers in England and Wales only, and does not include figures for Scotland.
(3) Surrey Police has informed the Home Office that it intends to increase the frontline by recruiting around 200 police constables in this financial year. The force underwent reductions in officers numbers between 2006 and 2009, several years before England and Wales as a whole.
