Summary of HMIC baseline assessments.
The force vision is to make Greater Manchester safer, bring criminals to justice, be visible on the streets and respect, reassure and respond to local communities; and to achieve this by being: professional and well led, efficient and effective, a force which listens and learns and is open and accountable.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) continues to develop its extensive performance management framework, the GMP Review to Improve Performance (GRIP), creating a scheme to develop leadership skills in staff, and tackling serious and organised crime.
Operations are continuing to have positive effects on performance by reducing robbery and domestic burglary within the force area. The HMIC Protective Services review assessed the areas of major crime and cross-border criminality as ‘excellent’.
