On Sunday 18th September 2022, it will be ten years since Greater Manchester Police officers Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone were murdered in a gun and grenade ambush after they were lured to a house in Manchester, in response to a false report of a burglary.
As part of his Policing Friendship Tour, Policing Insight and PolicingTV Publisher recently met Greater Manchester Police Federation Chair Lee Broadbent, to remember those two officers. Bernard and Lee also discuss the broader challenges of frontline policing, the impact of police pension changes on officer morale, and the state of play in Greater Manchester Police under a relatively new Chief Constable.
