The following table shows (for each section of the act) the number of charges prosecuted under the Emergency Workers (Scotland) Act 2005, based on the year when the charge(s) were reported.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) database does not contain information to identify local authority areas and individual jurisdictions do not always match such areas. As a result, the information has been split by Procurator Fiscal Offices.
