GMP bosses think 'remarkable improvement' could see force out of special measures by end of the year
Greater Manchester Police is set to come out of special measures by the end of the year, according to the senior officer overseeing its "remarkable" transformation. GMP became one of six forces to be put in special measures by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in December 2020 over its poor handling of victims.

He said GMP had "a particularly poor performance" in June 2021 in relation to the speed at which it answered the phone and despatched officers to incidents.
The Chief Supt said that at the worst point, GMP had as many as 2,700 open incidents at peak times, but now this was regularly less than 900. He said the despatch target time of officers of 15 minutes was now being exceeded and is now down to below 10 minutes and the response time to non-emergency call-outs was down from 28 hours to an average of three hours and in some cases was under 90 mins.
