A tribunal case brought by former officer Rhona Malone found evidence of a 'boys' club culture' in Scotland's armed policing.
Rhona Malone was a police officer for seven years before qualifying as a firearms officer
Former firearms officer Rhona Malone raised the tribunal against Police Scotland alleging sex discrimination and victimisation.Chief Constable Iain Livingstone said an independent force would review the tribunal over "legitimate concern".In an update to colleagues, he said: "The appalling murder of Sarah Everard by a serving officer has brought an intense, critical spotlight onto policing in the UK and onto misogyny and violence against women and girls.
"Misogyny, sexism and discrimination of any kind are deplorable. They should have no place in society and no place in policing. It is vital that, individually and as an organisation, we challenge our own and each other's behaviours in relation to misogynistic attitudes and actions." Insp Warhurst sent an email in January 2018 saying two female firearms officers should not be deployed together when there were sufficient male staff on duty.
