Greater Manchester Police: Recruitment (1 November 2022)

As part of the Police Officer Uplift Programme, the Home Office publishes a quarterly update on the number of officers in England and Wales, broken down by Police Force Area since recruitment began in October 2019, the latest of which is available here: Police Officer uplift statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Table U2 of the data tables accompanying this quarterly publication provides a breakdown of these additional officers recruited from funding for the Police Uplift Programme by month since October 2019. In addition, Table U4 contains information on the total number of new recruits since the programme began, which includes those recruited to backfill leavers as well as those recruited as additional officers.

As at 30 September 2022, Greater Manchester Police have recruited 804 additional police officers attributable to the Police Uplift Programme. This is against an allocation to recruit 1,155 additional police officers by March 2023.
