'GMP officers claim rising arrest rates are leading to intolerable custody conditions'
Serving Greater Manchester Police officers have claimed soaring arrest rates are leading to 'intolerable' conditions for those in custody.
The force was placed in special measures in December 2020 after a report revealed an estimated 80,000 crimes had not been properly recorded but in October last year, His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary lifted the sanction and praised the force for improvements made. "We need them to end up gripping the rail and being accountable before our courts and that's why that 42 per cent increase in charges and summons is really important as well."
The investigation comes just months after a critical HMICFRS report on GMP custody - concluded in October 2022 and published in February 2023 - identified concerns about safety, standards and staffing levels in its custody suites. GMP told the programme the women's clothes were removed for welfare reasons and didn't constitute a strip-search in either case.
