A police force that had to apologise to victims over decades of failure over grooming gangs is now investigating more than 1,000 suspects, a watchdog has said.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has made “significant improvements” in how it investigates group-based sexual exploitation of children, or grooming gangs, and other types of child sexual abuse offences, according to the report by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).
