Cover-up concern over police review
An ex-firearms officer who won a pay-out from Police Scotland questions an external review.
A former firearms officer who won a pay-out of almost £1m from Police Scotland claims an external review following her tribunal smacks of a cover-up.
Rhona Malone said it lacked independence and depth. The review came after an employment tribunal found she was victimised after raising concerns about a sexist email.
The former firearms officer won the pay-out in May last year. In the weeks after the tribunal judgement Police Scotland asked the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) to carry out a review and make recommendations.
A redacted copy of the review was published in June 2022. The main section is critical of all the officers and staff who victimised Rhona Malone except for one - a chief superintendent who was in charge of the Professional Standards Department.
The PSNI, who carried out the probe, said it resulted in five conduct assessments.
The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has been unable to verify whether one of the redacted conduct assessments relates to the chief superintendent in question.
