For each year Nov 2019 to Oct 2020, Nov 2020 to Oct 2021 and Nov 2021 to Oct 2022 how many arrests have been made by Met schools officers?

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) advise me that it is not possible to provide this information. A police officer is identified via their warrant number, which does not change when they are posted elsewhere in the organisation. Therefore, to identify the number of arrests made by Safer Schools Officers would require individual searches of databases using each officer’s warrant number and to limit these searches to each individual officer’s time posted as a Safer Schools Officer.
