Nearly 150 GMP employees accused of violence against women and girls in last six months
Almost 150 employees of Greater Manchester Police were accused of behaviour relating to violence against women and girls in the last six months, the force has admitted.
According to the new figures, where cases were completed, no further action was taken against police officers and staff accused of violence against women and girls in more than nine in 10 complaints from the public, and seven in 10 internal reports from police against colleagues. The NPCC concludes it is highly unlikely a police officer will face proceedings over an allegation, with only one in 100 sacked.
“The Force Vetting Unit plays an essential role in ensuring only the right people wear the GMP uniform, and the branch’s Assessment and Investigation teams work together to respond to reports, whilst the Anti-Corruption Unit proactively gathers intelligence about any employees whose behaviour falls below the high standard rightly expected of police.
Ernesto, a married police dog handler, was jailed for five and a half years last year, after violently attacking and trying to rape a woman he met at a pub.
