A police force that previously had to apologise for failing vulnerable victims of child grooming gangs is now investigating more than 1,000 suspects, a watchdog has said.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP), which in 2022 issued an unequivocal apology to victims it had let down, has made “significant improvements” in how it investigates grooming gangs and child sexual abuse, according to a report by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).
