We asked residents about this year's proposals, to increase the police precept by £10.11 per year (84 pence a month) for a B property (80% of households in Greater Manchester are in Bands A-C). For a Band D property, the increase would be by £13 per year (or £1.08 a month).

With support a £10.11 increase for a Band B property or £13 for a Band D property would provide an additional £10.5 million of funding to enable GMP to:

• Remain one of the best police forces in the country in answering 999 and 101 calls.
• Further improve response times for emergency and non-emergency incidents.
• Retain investment in neighbourhood policing and crime prevention teams to further reduce neighbourhood crimes.
• Invest a further 30 police officers into front line policing roles in 2024/25.
• Increase policing of the transport network through the launch of Operation Vulcan Network with increased policing presence in and around Piccadilly and Victoria stations.
• Invest in locking up more criminals and providing swifter and better services for victims and witnesses through investment in investigations and criminal justice units.
• Invest in prosecuting offenders with a focus on increasing arrests for sex offenders and ensuring justice for vulnerable victims.

Together and with your help, we aim to continue GMP’s positive journey and deliver to you the most effective police service in the UK.

There was 758 responses to the consultation.

Following the result of the consultation, a precept increase of £13 to the current band D precept was proposed and supported.  Following this increase the Greater Manchester police and crime precept will remain one of the 10 lowest out of the 42 police and crime areas of England.
