Greater Manchester Police have suspended eight officers and restricted one officer following a report made of racial discrimination
Seven of the suspended officers are from the Bury district, and one is from Rochdale who was working in Bury at the time of the allegations.
This follows the force suspending five officers and placing two officers on restricted duties; all from the Bury district earlier this month
GMP made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) in relation to both of these cases. The IOPC is investigating the first report and has reviewed and referred the second incident back to Greater Manchester Police to investigate.
Head of GMP’s Professional Standards Directorate Detective Chief Superintendent Mike Allen said: “The reports we have received are deeply concerning and I hope to reassure the community of Bury, the wider public, and the GMP workforce that a full and thorough investigation is being conducted into these matters.”
