This Audit is a retrospective review of 298 Patient Report Forms from 2019 from five police forces covering a mixture of metropolitan and semi-rural areas. Patients were predominantly male and the mechanisms of injury were mainly stabbings, road traffic collisions or alcohol/drug-related. These officers are well-trained and serial audits show a steady increase in use of skills, which makes them an important medical resource, although this audit also highlights the importance of remembering that they are police officers first.
