Complaints against police increase
Date published: 05 February 2015
GMP
Complaints against Greater Manchester Police rose by 28 per cent last year.
The number rose to 1,536 in 2013/14 says the Independent Police Complaints Commission. The rise follows an increase of 18 per cent in the force’s recorded complaints in 2012/13.
The all-England figure rose by 15 per cent.
Some of the rise is down to the redefinition of certain types of complaints. A case may have one or more complaints attached to it.
Almost 40 per cent of public appeals against GMP were upheld by the IPCC, compared with three per cent by those considered by the force itself.
