Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is a tremendously powerful force for good in our communities.

We're an organisation that comprises of officers and staff who are committed, professional, compassionate and courageous, who do things every single day that most either could not, or would not do.

We are here to take the fight to criminals, to keep people and their families safe from those who would do them harm and to work with others to solve problems in our communities to reduce and prevent offending.

With a new Chief Constable; strengthened executive leadership; clear direction and a renewed commitment to giving everything we can to improve services to our communities, there has never been a better time to join team GMP.

Greater Manchester Police is the second-largest police force in England which means we have one of the largest choices of career paths that span different areas of policing and a variety of specialisms.

We are looking to give an opportunity to hard-working, dedicated individuals in the substantive rank of Sergeant and Constable who will join us on our mission to rapidly move GMP into a place where it is objectively recognised as a force that does the basics brilliantly.
