Greater Manchester Police Authority has no ‘clear vision’ of policing and is not doing enough to scrutinise the performance of its force, according to a report. The watchdog has been given a score of two out of four by inspectors who said its performance was only ‘adequate’. It was criticised for not setting challenging targets to improve police performance and for not having a ‘diverse’ make-up of members. GMP’s results in tackling ‘volume crime’ such as burglary and car theft are among the worst in the country. The report by the Audit Commission and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary says the authority is ‘performing poorly’ in making…

The "jammers" put out radio signals at the same frequency at the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, overwhelming the timing signal that in-car devices use to plot their position. That means a tracker device built into a lorry with a valuable load, or a car with an anti-theft GPS device which should report its position if stolen, cannot distinguish the correct GPS signal. "It disappears from the radar," said Professor David Last, of the University of Wales at Bangor, who has been a police expert witness in a number of cases over the past 18 months in which GPS jammers have been seized.
