GMP say they are making 'progress' in improving response to incidents as arrests and solved crime rates rise

Greater Manchester Police say they have made 'further progress' in improving the force’s response to incidents and investigation of crime, as arrest and solved crime rates have risen.

The force also said during the 12 months to February 2023, they increased arrests by over 50%, and solved crime increased by over 28%.GMP Deputy Chief Constable Terry Woods said the force had made 'tremendous progress' since it was put in special measures in December 2020 after a report revealed an estimated 80,000 crimes had not been properly recorded. GMP were taken out of the measures in October 2022, but were told they 'still had more to do'.

The force also said the time taken to arrive at emergency calls reduced by around 10 seconds and at priority calls by around 10 minutes, compared to January. Last month, the average time it took to attend a Grade one emergency call was nine minutes 46 seconds, down from 13 minutes 35 seconds at the peak in September 2021, according to GMP.
