A senior officer at Greater Manchester Police has been suspended, the force has announced. It follows an allegation of misconduct made against the officer.
GMP published a statement this afternoon (October 13) confirming the suspension. The officer has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) for further investigation.
The IOPC will consider the officer's 'standards of professional behaviour', GMP says. The force has not named the officer, given their rank or the district where they work.
