Police Officer domestic abuse 515/2025
FOI Reference: 515/25
Request:
I am writing under the Freedom of Information act to request data you have recorded on conduct investigations into police perpetrated domestic abuse (PPDA) led by your police force, from 1 January 2021 to 31 April 2025.
Specifically, I request the following information. Please send the response in an Excel spreadsheet.
1) PPDA CONDUCT CASES. The number of conduct cases instigated against police officers, and the number of individual officers they relate to, involving domestic abuse from 1 January 2021 to 31 April 2025
If your force does not have a specific flag used on Centurion to identify domestic abuse cases, please apply the methodology that you would usually use to identify and report on such cases, for example by searching for key words within the allegation summary field.
Please describe the methodology used. If your methodology is manual and time consuming to the extent that responding to the question would exceed time constraints, please limit your response to a reasonable time frame by starting with a later year, and describe the dates covered.
Please break down the number of cases by year and specify the number of individuals involved as well as the total number of cases:
