Second senior GMP officer is suspended in less than a year

Another senior officer has been suspended by Greater Manchester Police - the second in nine months

In a statement issued today, Deputy Chief Constable, Terry Woods, said: “Following an internal allegation of misconduct, a Superintendent has been suspended from duty and referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct - who are carrying out an initial assessment to determine whether an independent investigation is required."

In relation to that case an IOPC spokesperson said in October: "We have received a conduct referral from Greater Manchester Police in relation to allegations of sexual harassment by a senior officer. We will now assess the available information to determine if any further action is required from us."

GMP was put in special measures in December 2020 following an inspection by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Service. It was removed from them in October 2022.
