New officer intake 2019

The request was successful.

Dear Greater Manchester Police,

Further to the GMCA announcement that Council tax within Greater Manchester will be increased to allow for the recruitment of 170 neighbourhood officers (2019).
My FOI relates to how these new officers will be allocated across the GMP divisions once training has been completed.

CC Ian Hopkins said on a recent interview on BBC Radio Manchester that GMP have an existing formula/calculation on how to allocate new officers across the divisions based on numerous factors.

The public interest in the new officers relates to the blanket increase in Council tax bills so the basis of this FOI is to arrive at a figure per GMP division.

Yours faithfully,

Good morning Dr Parker,
 
Thank you for your email. In regards to your below FOI request I would
require further clarification.
 
I feel the question is perhaps seeking detail on how the additional 170
NPO posts will be distributed rather than the people.
 
Can I please ask if you can confirm if you require the information
relating to:
 

 1. how the additional posts are to be distributed

Or

 2. how individual new student officers (people) are allocated to specific
Districts

 
As a result of seeking this clarification, your request has currently been
placed on hold until I hear back from you. If I don't hear from you by
01/03/19 I will assume you no longer wish to continue with your request
and it will be cancelled accordingly.
 
I'll look forward to your response.
 
Kind regards,

Dear Greater Manchester Police,

Many thanks for your response.

To confirm, my FOI is trying to arrive at a figure of how many of the NPO will be posted across each GMP division ie: Trafford Division = xx posts, Stockport Division = xx posts etc...

As the Council tax precept was generated to create 170 new Neighbourhood officer posts, I am assuming part of the calculation was based on how the new officers would be distributed across the GMP divisions.

Yours faithfully,

Dr kevin parker

Dear Greater Manchester Police,

For clarity, my FOI relates to how many individual new student officers (people) are allocated to specific
Districts, although posts should equate to the same number?

Yours faithfully,
