A RETIRED cop submitted a formal complaint to Greater Manchester Police to report uniformed officers delivering birthday flowers to a neighbour.
Two uniformed officers turned up at the address in Lowton, near Leigh, in a GMP-liveried BMW X3 and delivered flowers to a neighbour, a GMP callhandler, according to the retired officer.
He lodged a complaint alleging it was an inappropriate use of stretched police resources.
The ex-officer, who the M.E.N. has agreed not to name, said that in a response to the complaint, a sergeant told him the flowers were delivered by on-duty road policing unit cops based 10 miles away in Eccles and were to celebrate the birthday of a civilian colleague.
