About GMPA

Greater Manchester Police Authority (GMPA) is an independent body made up of 19 local people who are called police authority members. It is their role to make sure Greater Manchester Police (GMP) force is not only performing well but also tackling the issues which local people feel are important. Members are supported and guided in their work by a team of employed staff. Both staff and members work closely with GMP officers.

You can find out more about members, staff and senior GMP officers using the links at the left hand side of the page.

In addition to the people mentioned above, another two people are part of the authority. They are known as lay members. They sit on a Standards Committee. More information about the Standards Committee can be accessed by following the Committees link on the left-hand side of the page.
