Police Complaints Reviews
If you are not satisfied with how your complaint was handled by Greater Manchester Police (GMP), then you may be able to request an independent review by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), as the statutory Relevant Review Body.
Requesting a Review
If you have made a complaint against GMP, you will receive a letter explaining the outcome and your right to ask for a review of that complaint. That letter will inform you who the Relevant Review Body is and how you can contact them to request a review. If the Relevant Review Body is the GMCA then your request will be dealt with by the GMCA Complaints Review Team, which is independent of GMP. The GMCA cannot carry out a review until your complaint about GMP is finalised.
It is important to note that the review cannot reinvestigate the complaint and will only consider whether the handling of the complaint was reasonable and proportionate.
