• 5.5% of senior officers (Chief Inspector or above) were from the Asian, black, mixed and 'other' ethnic groups combined, compared with 2.8% in 2007
• between 2007 and 2022, the percentage of police officers from each of the ethnic minority groups went up – the largest increase was for Asian police officers (from 1.5% to 3.7%)

• at the time of the 2021 Census, 81.7% of people in England and Wales were white and 18.3% were from ethnic minority backgrounds

2. Things you need to know

What the data measures

The data shows the number and percentage of people working for the police, by ethnicity. It covers the 43 police forces in England and Wales, and the British Transport Police.

The data comes from a snapshot taken on 31 March every year.

Percentages are based on 'full-time equivalent' (FTE) staff numbers. For example, someone who works 2.5 days a week has an FTE of 0.5.

Figures are shown separately for special constables, who are volunteers and not counted as part of the police workforce.

Population estimates come from the 2021 Census.

Percentages are rounded to 1 decimal place.

The figures on this page are based on the Home Office police workforce data up to the year ending March 2022.

While the Home Office ‘Police Workforce’ statistical bulletin remains the key measure of the size and diversity of the police workforce, the Home Office also publishes a more up-to-date quarterly release on the number and diversity of police officers (headcount terms only) in the Police Officer Uplift statistics which provides data up to the year ending March 2023.

Not included in the data

The data does not include staff whose ethnicity was not known. In 2022, ethnicity was not known for:

• 3.4% of the total police workforce (police officers, staff, designated officers and police community support officers)
• 2.8% of police officers
• 6.8% of special constables
• 37.5% of police support volunteers

To keep consistent with Home Office releases, totals for England and Wales do not include the British Transport Police.

The ethnic groups used in the data

Police officers and staff in England and Wales report their own ethnicity based on the following 5 aggregated ethnic groups:

• Asian
• black
• mixed
• white
• ‘other’

Before 2021, police officers and staff who identified as Chinese were grouped under the ‘other’ ethnic group. They are now grouped under the Asian ethnic group. While this limits our ability to make comparisons with previous years, the Home Office estimates that people from the Chinese ethnic group made up 0.2% of all police officers in 2022.
