A former Greater Manchester Police officer's behaviour has been described as 'extremely odd' after she kept her uniform and some equipment when she was resigned from the force.
Abigail Barlow, from Rochdale, worked for the force for four-and-a-half years before leaving in January 2023. She resigned three days after being sentenced over a 'repeated' domestic abuse against her partner.
