Company Profile

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is the territorial police force responsible for policing Greater Manchester, serving a population of around 2.7 – 2.8 million people across ten local authority areas.

Formed in 1974, it is one of the largest police forces in the UK, covering approximately 492 square miles and delivering 24/7 services including emergency response, neighbourhood policing, and major crime investigations.

The organisation employs over 10,000 staff, including more than 8,200 police officers, supported by police staff, community support officers, and volunteers.

GMP operates through local districts and specialised units, enabling both community-focused policing and the capability to respond to complex and high-risk incidents.

Led by the Sir Stephen Watson (QPM), GMP is focused on preventing crime, protecting vulnerable people, and maintaining public confidence.

Its strategic direction aligns with regional priorities to improve trust, reduce harm, and address serious and organised crime, ensuring safe and resilient communities across Greater Manchester.
