Lanarkshire’s top police officer has admitted that the force is facing significant challenges due to experienced senior officers now being able to retire earlier in addition to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Chief Superintendent Alan Waddell says that Police Scotland is working hard to address issues and maintain effective policing for the public.
His comments came after his counterpart in Ayrshire revealed that 70 per cent of uniformed Inspectors there are taking early retirement following a change to the rules surrounding their pensions.
