Request

Clarification to Requester:
In relation to your requests concerning investigations, do you wish to include investigations carried out by PSNI, the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI), or both? Please note that including investigations carried out by PONI may make your request overcost (based on previous requests of a similar nature).

Clarification from requester:
I should imagine that details of the suspension and repositioning of officers should be easily retrieved. As would those of officers denied promotion opportunities. With regards to officers under investigation, just limit this to PSNI investigative processes as I can approach PONI directly for their figures.

Request 1
As of 3rd May, how many warranted officers are currently suspended from duty? Please indicate the numbers of suspended officers at each rank, and if they are suspended for alleged non-criminal misconduct or alleged criminality.
