Greater Manchester Police hit by 'morale crisis' as survey reveals nearly 20 per cent of officers intend to quit
Nearly two in ten Greater Manchester Police officers say they plan to quit as soon as possible as a new survey revealed the morale crisis currently hitting the force.
Frustration isn't just aimed towards the Government either, as many officers cited high work loads, competing demands, long hours and a lack of opportunity for developments as contributing factors to their low morale, the survey found. "Retaining highly skilled and experienced police officers is going to be a real challenge in the next few years," Mr Broadbent added.
The survey also revealed that many police officers felt their workloads were 'too high' with over 80 per cent indicating they had experienced feelings of stress, low mood, anxiety or other difficulties with their health and wellbeing over the last twelve months. What GMP say In a letter which was sent to all GMP officers, Deputy Chief Constable Terry Woods said: "The Police Federation of England and Wales yesterday published the findings of its’ Pay and Morale Survey 2022.
"We recognise the impact the cost of living crisis is having on our workforce. The force’s Ethics committee has already met to discuss how it is affecting you and what support we can put in place for your welfare. Work is ongoing and you will be updated in due course with any notable developments.
