Another senior officer has been suspended by Greater Manchester Police - the second in nine months.
In a statement issued today, Deputy Chief Constable, Terry Woods, said: “Following an internal allegation of misconduct, a Superintendent has been suspended from duty and referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) - who are carrying out an initial assessment to determine whether an independent investigation is required."
An IOPC spokesperson said: “We have carefully assessed a referral from Greater Manchester Police regarding allegations of inappropriate conduct by an officer of Superintendent rank.
“We have informed GMP the nature of the allegations mean an investigation is required. We determined GMP should carry out the investigation and have made recommendations of matters for the investigating officer to consider.”
GMP have not revealed the nature of the allegations against the Superintendent.
