""This operation has been under way for a number of months and, as a result, we have taken action this week to allow for greater investigation into what has happening.""
""The abnormal keystroke behaviour comes from repeated key presses and could be from an item left on a keypad, pressing down one key.""
""GMP isn't the first force in the UK to have undertaken an operation such as this, and we have seen other industries take swift action, where deliberate key-jamming has been proven.""
Greater Manchester Police suspended home working privileges after an anti-corruption unit identified abnormal keystroke behaviour on force-issued devices. Twenty-six police officers, staff and contractors are facing misconduct proceedings as part of the probe. Key-jamming can involve leaving items on a keyboard or otherwise manipulating a device so someone appears active through repeated key presses. The suspension is part of a programme aimed at removing poor performance and improving efficiency. Line managers will be spoken to and will face greater leadership scrutiny. The operation has been under way for months, and similar actions have occurred in other forces and industries.
