Working at Greater Manchester Police

Greater Manchester Police was established in 1974 and is now one of the largest police forces in the UK and is responsible for keeping its diverse population of almost 3 million safe, spread over more than 1,200 sq. km. Manchester in particular has been billed as the most diverse city in Europe with its population speaking at least 200 different languages, leading to the city being named as Britain’s “City of languages”. GMP is split into 10 districts - Bolton, Bury, City of Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan. There is also a specialist division based at Manchester International Airport.

We’re here to serve all the communities across Greater Manchester. It’s a big job but satisfying – and it offers a variety of equally satisfying, and exciting career opportunities.

These opportunities across a range of roles, from police officers through to non-uniformed support staff and volunteers. Each role is essential to helping us serve our diverse communities. Each provides an opportunity for a real career, providing real policing – by people like you.
