GMP To Cut 700 More Officers
Some 700 officers could be cut from Greater Manchester Police in a move to save an estimated £66 million.
It is understood that the saving would represent 20% of GMPs budget and the force will look to achieve the saving over the next three years by implementing a recruitment freeze and not replacing officers that retire of leave the force.
The latest cuts follows the lose of 3,100 jobs at GMP in 2010, when 1,500 officers and 1,600 civilian staff were cut to meet a 25% spending cut implemented by the government.
