A Sky News investigation last year - described by mayor Andy Burnham as a 'credit' - found GMP officers had inappropriately strip-searched three women while in custody. After a major report, the force announced it has ended the practice and made other improvements.
Greater Manchester Police says it has made wide-ranging changes to the treatment of women in custody, following a Sky News investigation. This includes ending the use of police strip searches for 'welfare' purposes and ensuring it is a 'last resort' when looking for concealed items. A Sky News investigation in 2023 into the custody practices of GMP led to an inquiry by former victims' commissioner Dame Vera Baird.
' And yet, one month after this, the police complaints department wrote to tell Sophie 'there were sufficient grounds for your arrest'. The letter told her: 'The service provided by the police was acceptable.' Only after Sophie revealed that her case was part of the Baird Inquiry did the police retract these findings.
