GMP Chief Constable To Be Investigated Over Whistleblower Allegations
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is to launch an investigation into four officers of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), including the force's chief constable, Sir Peter Fahy.
It is understood that the Sir Fahy is being investigated over an allegedly mis-handled probe into a suspected sex offender.
The notices were served as part of the IPCC’s three independent investigations into multiple allegations made by a whistleblower serving with the force.
The notices informed the officers that their conduct or actions may have breached their standards of professional behaviour.
As well as the chief constable, a detective superintendent and a detective chief inspector have been served with notice of pending criminal and gross misconduct investigations. A retired officer is also involved in the investigation, the IPCC have said.
