Annual Progress Report and Plan 2026
Our Annual Progress Report and Plan sets out how Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has performed over the past year, and what we will focus on in the year ahead.
It provides a clear and transparent update for the public, our partners, and our workforce—showing the progress we have made, the challenges we continue to address, and how we plan to keep improving.
Looking back: our progress
Over the last 12 months, GMP has continued its journey of improvement, building on the foundations set in recent years.
Our Annual Progress Report highlights:
- Key achievements across policing services
- Improvements in performance and standards
- Progress against our priorities and commitments
- How we have responded to feedback from communities and independent inspections
This reflects our ongoing commitment to becoming a consistently high-performing police force that the public can trust and have confidence in.
Looking ahead: our priorities
Alongside our progress review, the report sets out our Plan for the year ahead. This outlines the areas we will focus on most to continue improving the service we provide.
Our priorities align closely with what matters most to the people of Greater Manchester, including:
- Keeping communities safe through effective neighbourhood policing
- Protecting vulnerable people
- Tackling serious and organised crime
- Continuing to improve how we operate, ensuring we are efficient, effective, and accountable
Why this matters
The Annual Progress Report and Plan helps us stay open and accountable. It shows where we are doing well, where we need to do more, and how we will continue to improve.
By sharing both our achievements and our future plans, we aim to build trust and demonstrate our commitment to delivering the highest standards of policing for the communities we serve.
