She become embroiled in a row after informing her superiors that dozens of officers did not report for duty in the district over a two-week period in April 2020, while still getting paid.
There was a difference of opinion between the most senior officers in the Police Service of Northern Ireland about moving a commander from Londonderry following a row over working practices during the pandemic.Disciplinary notices against the officers were halted by Chief Constable Simon Byrne following legal advice.
Ms Bond, who was made an MBE for service to policing in 2019, is now an assistant chief constable with Police Scotland. Mr Byrne also revealed that shortly after taking up the chief role in the PSNI, he recommended that a more senior officer should lead the police team in Derry. He said the police college role she went to was a "challenging and meaningful role" and would help Ms Bond gain further professional development for future promotion to senior management.
"This is about the best interests of the claimant ... I spent considerable time listening to her aspirations and ambition, offering her opportunities to get different perspectives and professional development. She had already had plenty of operational experience, if her ambition was to attend the next assessment centre, this would give her additional evidence to support that."
"As a matter of policy I don't like commanders to move unnecessarily," he said, raising the matter of continuity and having established teams.
