Inspectors found force ‘doesn’t investigate crimes effectively’ despite recent improvements
Greater Manchester police (GMP) continue to investigate crime poorly and take too long to answer both 999 and non-emergency calls, according to an inspection report.
Fourteen months after placing GMP into special measures, inspectors from Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) say the force still “doesn’t investigate crimes effectively, so some offenders escape justice and victims don’t get the service they deserve”.
