Inspectors have issued a damning assessment of Greater Manchester Police, questioning the 'fatigued' force's ability to investigate crime and support victims.
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) graded GMP's performance across nine areas of policing, following a visit in September 2021.
It found it to be 'inadequate' in three, 'requiring improvement' in five, and 'adequate' in just one area.
