New police officers to be recuited for first time in 5 years
GREATER Manchester Police’s budget shows that for the first time in five years the force will be able to recruit new officers.
The recruitment drive will offset those officers who resign or retire, enabling GMP to maintain current officer levels rather than suffer further losses. But the force still faces significant financial challenges and needs to save £67million by 2020.
The figures are set out by Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd in his policing budget report for 2016-17, which details spending plans for the forthcoming financial year.
