A review found the force was 'hindered' by its discredited computer system which meant stretched offender managers failed to keep tabs on Kofi Taylor
A dangerous sexual predator wasn't monitored properly by Greater Manchester Police because of its now discredited computer system and because of high case loads in its sex offender management unit, according to a serious case review.
On his release this was managed by a different force until Taylor, who is not named in the review, moved to Trafford in August 2019, although he was homeless at the time, and GMP took over this role. He was required to report to police every week. The unit has since 'undertaken a significant recruitment programme of both offender managers and supervisors' to double the size of the unit so caseloads are now 'in line' with the Home Office guidance. It has also recruited a 'homelessness officer' to track people like Taylor, who was of no fixed abode when he arrived in Trafford.
It would have been 'best practice' for his offender manager to make contact within Taylor within a week of his arrival in Trafford but he was not visited before July 2020 and 'no risk assessments were competed', said the review, which went on that the unit had no systems in places to 'address overdue visits'.
The girl's mother was left 'understandably angry about the lack of effective monitoring' of Taylor, said the review.
