If it isn’t possible to break down the forces, please say whether the complaint came from a staff member within an English, Welsh or Other force. (Other here would include the British Transport Police and Ministry of Defence Police).
If it isn't possible to break down the staff members by role, please omit this.

If you are unable to give a specific monthly tally for March and/or April 2020, you may provide the total number for the year to date.
