Inspectors say force has failed to address ‘significant delays’ in handling of serious crimes
Inspectors say they are “concerned about public safety in Greater Manchester” after finding that the region’s police force was failing to support vulnerable victims of crime – four years after the alarm was first raised.
The extraordinary warning, believed to be the first issued to a force of its size, came after inspectors found that Greater Manchester police (GMP) had failed to address “significant delays” in its handling of serious crimes.
