Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Stephen Watson Receives Knighthood

Stephen Watson, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), has been awarded a knighthood in the King’s Birthday Honours list.

Sir Stephen, who joined Lancashire Constabulary in 1988, has served in multiple forces including Merseyside Police, The Metropolitan Police, Durham Constabulary and South Yorkshire Police. During his tenure as Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police, the force became the most improved in England and Wales for three consecutive years.

Since becoming Chief Constable of GMP in 2021, Sir Stephen has overseen a 7.2% reduction in crime and a 70% increase in solved cases, while maintaining sector-leading response times.

Sir Stephen said: “I was delighted and humbled to receive this honour. My success is only possible because of the excellent officers and staff I’ve worked with across many forces, and my family’s constant support.”
