​Request

Please advise how many staff employed by the States of Jersey Police are currently on long term sick leave. 

Response

States of Jersey Police have used the following definition taken from the Government of Jersey’s Managing Attendance Policy in order to ensure transparency over the use of the term ‘long term’.

‘Any period of continuous absence of more than 4 weeks (20 working days)’

As of 4 December 2023, there have been fewer than five police officers and five police staff signed off for a period of more than 20 working days. Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied to prevent identification of individuals.
