Stop and search in Bolton

In the 12 months from September 2025 to August 2026, fewer than 30 stop and searches were recorded in Bolton, all by forces other than Greater Manchester Police.

Greater Manchester Police supplies no stop and search records to police.uk. The few records here are only stops made in Bolton by other forces, mostly British Transport Police, so they are not comparable with other areas. Why is this missing?
