Police Scotland is “not in the same area” as the Metropolitan Police over the handling of misconduct claims, a senior policing figure has said.
Speaking to BBC Scotland’s The Nine on Tuesday, David Kennedy, general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, said the way policing is done in Scotland is different to the rest of the UK. His comments come following the publication of a damning report into culture and standards at Britain’s biggest force.
The Baroness Casey report into the Met found the force was institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic. Mr Kennedy insisted Police Scotland had a “vigorous” way of dealing with any officer who falls foul of behaviour expected of them.
