THE Greater Manchester Police Authority (GMPA) has received the prestigious North West Employers Organisation charter.
The body, that monitors the performance of Greater Manchester Police, were granted the award in recognition of their commitment to member development.
GMPA chairman Derek Osbaldestin said: "To get the charter is excellent news, particularly as we are the first police authority in the country to obtain such an award.
"We are fully committed to giving all our members on-going training and development. In order to be an effective governing body, continuous improvement is vital.
"It allows our members to monitor police performance, on behalf of the people of Greater Manchester, to the best of their ability."
GMPA says during the next three years it plans to introduce robust training days, mentoring and personal development plans to improve evaluation and internal communication.
