In a room filled with 37 police inspectors, members of the press, and the Mayor of Greater Manchester, promise was in the air.
Announced today was a new plan for GMP, to bring about more police officers with dedicated teams for residents to get to know, rebuild, reconnect and rebuild trust with the force.
In the ‘back-to-basics’ approach, the force promises a dedicated team per ward, who will be visible and accessible, with a commitment that they will be ‘ringfenced’ to focus on their specific neighbourhood, instead of backfilling other duties.
