In the last five years, police forces in the UK have paid nearly £80m in compensation following claims against them. Figures obtained by Public Interest Lawyers found that 47,658 claims have been lodged against police forces since 2019.

Claims are often put in against a police force if someone feels they have been mistreated or if they feel the police abused their position.
