A former senior police officer Emma Bond has denied telling lies or misleading an employment tribunal about a conversation with a former line manager
Emma Bond, pictured in 2020 when she was still working for the PSNI, claims she wanted to stay in LondonderryA former senior police officer has denied telling lies or misleading an employment tribunal.Ms Bond claimed that a colleague informed her the decision to move her from being a district commander in Londonderry had been predetermined by the two most senior PSNI officers.The case arises from an investigation into officers working from home for a short period during the pandemic.
The tribunal, sitting in Belfast, had previously heard Ms Bond believed some officers were potentially guilty of gross misconduct or criminal behaviour when they did not report for duty. They believed they were allowed to be on stand-by from home. Ms Bond previously told the tribunal that then Chief Superintendent Jonathan Roberts, now a Garda Assistant Commissioner, told her in a meeting in October 2020 that the PSNI chief constable and deputy chief constable had "predetermined" her move before meeting of commanders.
He said that he recalled having a meeting with Ms Bond but admitted that he had not made any notes in relation to this.He told the tribunal that the meeting was "informal" and he did not feel the need to make note of it, adding that it was only important in terms of relationship building.
