Where are the safest cities in the UK and which have the most emergency workers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average across the UK, police forces receive a 999 call every 3 seconds. This shows an incredibly high demand for emergency services\u2026 But which regions have the most abundance of emergency workers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this report, we will investigate the number of registered police officers, ambulance staff and firefighters in each region and force, before revealing the regions with the most emergency workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experts at Get Licensed<\/a> also looked at the number of emergency calls to every police force in 2022, to discuss the UK areas with the greatest demand for police intervention. The number of SIA licence<\/a> holders by area will also be discussed, to see how these professionals support the work of emergency service workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Wales recorded the most ambulance workers per capita as of February 2023 with 2,749 emergency staff, equal to 89 per 100,000 people. During this month, around half of the Welsh ambulance workforce walked out and went on strike action over pay, which threatened to put further strain on the service. The Welsh Government offered health unions a 1.5% pay increase and a one-off payment of 1.5% of a worker\u2019s salary. This was on top of a 4.5% already offered to workers in April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Health union members working for the West Midlands Ambulance Service staged strike action in May 2023 after they rejected the government\u2019s pay offer by 75%.

                                                  To find out the safest cities in the UK, we looked at the number of registered emergency workers by looking at the following factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The number of full-time equivalent police officers according to GOV.UK<\/a> on the 30th September 2022. The resident population was taken from the ONS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The number of ambulance staff according to the NHS<\/a> for the month of February 2023. The data for the North East includes part of North Cumbria. The resident population was taken from the ONS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Full-time firefighters in 2022 by fire brigade according to Statista<\/a>. The population by nation and area was taken from GOV.UK<\/a>. The Isles of Scilly were excluded due to having a significantly lower population than other areas, which skews the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The number of emergency calls across the UK was taken from Police.uk<\/a> for the year 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The number of SIA licence holders was taken from GOV.UK<\/a> for the month of May 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
