total of 735 officers – the equivalent of two a day – has been dismissed from the army in England and Wales until March 2025.

The College of Policing said figures from the latest barred list, which covers 43 forces in England and Wales, show a “determined and strong effort” to clamp down on wrongdoing.
The Met had the highest number of dismissals this year, with 183 sacked out of 33,293 staff, followed by Greater Manchester Police with 43 officers sacked out of 8,112 staff.
The most common reason for dismissal was dishonesty, which was a factor in 126 cases, while 95 cases were linked to discrimination and 82 cases were linked to illegally accessing or sharing information. Several reasons may apply to any one case.
A total of 72 dismissed officers were accused of sexual crimes or misconduct, in addition to 31 cases involving officers who abused their positions for sexual purposes. Approximately 21 officers were dismissed due to child sex crimes listed as one or more of the reasons for their dismissal.

The figures also show that 280 members of the police staff and 31 special persons were delisted, increasing from 233 and 29 respectively.
Since its introduction in December 2017, a total of 2,834 police officers, 223 special constables and 1,268 members of police staff have been added to the barred list.
Assistant Chief Constable Tom Harding, director of operational standards at the College of Policing, said: “These figures show a determined and strong effort by police forces to get rid of officers whose behavior falls below the high standards we and the public expect of them.
“It goes without saying that whenever an officer’s behavior violates professional standards, or even verges on criminality, it leaves a permanent stain on the reputation of policing.
“But the public can be confident that their police forces are promptly identifying and dealing with unacceptable behavior by officers and staff who, because of being on the barred list, will never work in policing again.
“The message is clear: our policing system is built on upholding our codes of conduct, courage, respect and empathy and public service, and there is no place in our police service for anyone whose behavior is at odds with these values.”
