It would mean a single car with two officers from the city would have to go all over the country fighting crime 😳
A single police car from Glasgow could be responsible for fighting crime on Scotland's roads across the whole country with reported cuts to traffic policing.
The move has been condemned by the Scottish Police Federation, which represents officers across the force.Traffic police also warned how difficult it could be to attend in the event of a fatality, potentially leaving victims lying on the road. One traffic officer, who asked not to be named, said: “This is unacceptable and the general public needs to know how little police coverage the road network will have at night.
“These officers will also be expected to travel many miles in a shift, trying to cover motorway emergencies many miles apart.” “This would put the lives of members of the public and the traffic officers at risk, requiring us to drive at high speeds for extended periods. “This is just one example of budget cuts that will do nothing for the safety of road users or police officers. Most rural roads will have no dedicated police traffic presence.”
