POLICE Scotland’s new chief constable has said she agrees with her predecessor that the force is “institutionally discriminatory”.
“People with different backgrounds or experiences, including our officers and staff, have not always received the service that is their right. “Police Scotland will focus on prevention, problem solving and proactivity, and on looking after our hard-working officers and staff so our people can deliver our vital public service.
The Scottish Police Federation, which represents rank and file police officers, said: “The new chief constable has to prioritise resourcing and police numbers as the current operating model is unsustainable for police officers’ welfare and for the communities they serve.It continued: “The chief constable must publicly challenge the Government and force a U-turn in the financial policies that are threatening public safety and the detection of crime.
Outline proposals to accelerate the disposal of about 30 police buildings have been revealed and further details will be announced when consultation plans are finalised. “I am sure we will forge a strong partnership, founded on a shared desire to continue the delivery of sustainable excellence within Scotland’s police service.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
