GMP's statement following publication of the Manchester Arena Inquiry Volume Three

Thursday, 2 March 2023 17:00

By David Murphy

Chief Constable Stephen Watson QPM, Greater Manchester Police, said: "On this difficult day, our thoughts are with the bereaved families and the survivors of the cowardly and brutal act that took place at the Manchester Arena on the 22nd May 2017.

"I thank the Chairman, Sir John Saunders, for the final volume of a highly comprehensive inquiry which has already done much to shape and deliver improvements into how Greater Manchester Police prepare for and respond to major incidents. 

"We are fully resolved to never repeating the failings previously identified and will ensure that the final volume is fully reviewed and considered. We will do this with a continued fierce determination to ensure that the loss and hurt experienced by those still suffering will not be in vain."
