Suspended officer salaries 757/2022

FOI Reference: 757/2022

Request:

Please confirm how much has been spent in paying salaries of officers who were suspended on paid leave later:

a.) dismissed from the force

or

b.) found guilty of misconduct after they resigned/retired from the force?

Please provide this information for the past five financial years (up to the 2021/2022 financial year).

• Please break this information down by year.
• Please also break this down by rank of officer, if this is possible.

Clarification: Please ensure the data reflects the total amount paid - so if it spans three years, divide the figure by three, and provide this figure for each consecutive year, so that it provides a fair and accurate reflection?

Further Clarification: If it's easier, you can also just provide the total amount in the year that they were eventually dismissed.

Response:
