Over 300 suspected domestic abusers arrested in a week in Greater Manchester

Each week we have resources in every district specifically targeting those perpetrating domestic abuse and protecting victims.

Between 31 March and 6 April 2025, we:

Made 326 arrests of those wanted for domestic abuse offences or during incidents reported

Of those, over a third have already resulted in a positive outcome for the victim (for example charge or evidence led – sometimes known as victimless – prosecution), with many remaining under further investigation so we can build strong evidential packages to present to the CPS

Secured 30 Domestic Violence and Domestic Abuse Protection notices and orders to prohibit perpetrators from committing further offences. Within that, we conducted 85 welfare or compliance checks on orders in place across the force to ensure victims are safe and perpetrators are sticking with the prohibitions, and dealt with four breaches of orders

Disclosed information under the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, otherwise known as Clare’s Law, to 59 people, enabling them to make informed choices about the relationships they are currently in

Hosted several community surgeries, partnership-led engagement events and visited schools to raise awareness of domestic abuse

Continued to train officers across the force on different aspects of domestic abuse, to ensure that the service we are delivering across the board is victim-centred and the best that is possible.
