As part of a new initiative 85 student officers will be introduced into their future communities as part of a week-long induction.
During their induction, they will have the opportunity to visit the areas they will patrol.
The officers, who started their training on 13 March, will meet community and faith groups, visit domestic abuse support groups, and take part in volunteering as well as learning about their area’s policing priorities.
Projects like this are an opportunity to get new officers switched on to the problem solving element of the policing world. It teaches them about how they can effectively play their part in a front line role.
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins for Greater Manchester Police, said: “Neighbourhood Policing is at the heart of our policing philosophy here in Greater Manchester. It is essential that our new colleagues start to
understand our many diverse communities and begin to familiarise themselves with the priorities of these communities.
As a police force we remain committed to keeping the public safe and this recruitment drive along with those planned in future reinforces our commitment to protect the communities of Greater Manchester.”
