Across England and Wales the number of frontline cops fell to the lowest recorded number since the early 1980sGMP Chief constable Ian Hopkins has now openly revealed that a staggering 60 per cent of crimes reported to them cannot be fully investigated due to ongoing funding pressures.Around 600 offences a day, including thefts from vehicles, cannot be investigated because "we don't have enough officers", he said.

That bit worries me."Greater Manchester Police are not the only force to feel the effects of a huge loss in funding. Meanwhile violent crime has soared by 19 per cent in England and Wales over 2018, Home Office figures show.- which includes manslaughter and murder - increased by 14 per cent, while overall crimes recorded by police went up by 7 per cent with a total of 5,723,182 offences recorded.
