Fewer than one in ten crimes reported to GMP result in 'action' as inspectors issue damning assessment of force's ability to investigate and support victims
03.03.2022 - 09:45 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Inspectors have issued a damning assessment of Greater Manchester Police, questioning the 'fatigued' force's ability to investigate crime and support victims.
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) graded GMP's performance across nine areas of policing, following a visit in September 2021.
It found it to be 'inadequate' in three, 'requiring improvement' in five, and 'adequate' in just one area.
The areas graded 'inadequate' included how the force investigates crime and how it responds to the public.
Concerns were raised over some 'considerable' delays in responses to crime, and 'missed opportunities' to safeguard victims.

Most alarmingly, fewer than 10 per cent of crimes recorded in the year ending March 31, 2021 resulted in action being taken by the force - which was placed in special measures following a critical assessment in December 2020 by HMICFRS.
Former Chief Constable, Ian Hopkins, resigned from the job several days after the report was published, after it revealed the force had failed to record 80,000 crimes in 12-months.
His successor, Stephen Watson, who was unveiled as the new £204,000-a-year chief constable in May last year, promised a new era of policing and vowed 'every crime reported would be properly investigated.'
He also pledged a raft of measures aimed at tightening-up leadership, internal processes and external transparency.
The report published on Thursday (March 3), did commend a significant restructuring process as part of the Chief Constable's long-term plans to improve the direction of GMP.
But it warned many areas of policing were not up to standard.
