Deputy Chief Constable Terry Woods said: “I’m grateful to the work of the anti-corruption unit for conducting this proactive operation to root out poor performance, dishonesty and conduct that is just not conducive with working for GMP.
“This work is doing a great service to the public and our workforce to ensure that the people of Greater Manchester can have confidence that their police force will not stand for the tiny minority that reflect badly on the thousands of decent, hard-working staff that serve the public so brilliantly every day.
“We’re prepared to lead the way in proactively tackling police corruption and misconduct.
“As these recent proactive investigations demonstrate, the chief and I mean it when we say we’re serious about ‘rooting out’ and ‘booting out’.”
GMP said working from home privileges continue to be revoked for those involved while further investigation takes place.
Additionally, line managers of those involved have been spoken to and are facing greater scrutiny, it added.
