Police are spending just over half their time on out-of-office "frontline duties", despite a government drive to cut down paperwork and get more officers on the beat, it was revealed yesterday.

This is the third year that the Home Office has compiled performance monitors for the 43 forces in England and Wales, but the first time they have included a measurement of "frontline duties".
