Police Officer Sick Days Since 2015

Request details

I would like the stats for how many sick days have been taken annually over the last few years for police officers

I was looking for the years from 2015-present if possible in relation to mental health sickness/absence.

If possible could you provide me with the number of these absences taken per annum from 2015?
