Greater Manchester Police suspends eight officers amid internal investigations in Bury

Today (Monday 29 July 2024), we 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 on 17/07/2024.

We have temporarily relocated officers to Bury to cover operational duties and minimise disruption within the district.

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.”
