To ask the Scottish Executive how many police officers there are per head of population in the Grampian Police force area.

The answer

Thanks to there being 172 more police officers in Grampian Constabulary at 30 September 2010 compared with March 2007, as a result of our pledge to deliver 1,000 additional officers in our communities, Grampian had 28 full-time equivalent police officers per 10,000 head of population on 31 March 2010, compared to 26 on 31 March 2007.</b></p>
