Sir Iain Livingstone says admitting Police Scotland is institutionally racist and discriminatory was 'absolutely the right thing to do'
Sir Iain Livingstone says admitting Police Scotland is institutionally racist and discriminatory was "absolutely the right thing to do". The chief constable, due to retire this summer, addressed the comments he made last month to the Scottish Police Authority.
Sir Iain said the force is not "the only significant institution that perhaps should have that level of assessment and consideration". "Actually saying that I think is, for me, telling you that Sunday is the day after Saturday, and then it allows us to go and make progress to make the organisation a better place."
"They have been used to doing significant amounts of overtime just to keep the lights on and to keep things moving," he told the SPA. Paul Edie, chairman of the authority's forensic services committee, said the situation has improved significantly since the report was commissioned.
