Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his Department has made an assessment of the adequacy of the operational performance of Greater Manchester Police in the last 12 months.

It is the responsibility of His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) to assess the operational performance of Greater Manchester Police, and for the Mayor of Greater Manchester to hold the Chief Constable to account for the progress being made.

HMICFRS will shortly publish Greater Manchester Police’s next Police Efficiency, Effectiveness and Legitimacy (PEEL) inspection report, which will provide an assessment of the force’s operational and organisational performance since their last PEEL report published in March 2022.
