A former Greater Manchester police officer has pleaded guilty to making and possessing indecent images of children over a 10-year period.
Thomas Woods, 34, was a serving police officer in the Salford area when he was arrested in December 2021.
After receiving information about potential indecent images, officers attended at the home of Woods in Bury, Lancashire and seized two phones and a laptop. Following extensive forensic examination, police recovered over a thousand indecent images, many of which showed sexual acts involving children.
