(1) This and other tables contain 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) Officers per 100,000 population for City of London and Metropolitan police are combined. (3) The Director Generals, Directors and Deputy Directors left NCS to join SOCA before 31 March 2006 and therefore no officers are recorded at ACPO rank as they had already ceased to be police officers.
