(a) 270 as at 6 May 2025.
(b) - (c) To calculate this response would require an extensive manual review of data that is not readily available or feasible given the unique and complex circumstances of each individual officer and noting some officers may be on long term leave due to both physical injury as well as for mental health reasons.
