@freelandergolf@ochwheeshtyou I recently spoke to the retired ACC who demoted him. He was disgusted to learn that Dolan had climbed the ranks. It takes a certain type of person to make those kinds of decisions and treat people that way. “A leopard never changes its spots” comes to mind.
@ochwheeshtyou That demotion will be on his record. It will be documented. He did it more than once, got found out and was filleted for his decision making and treatment of officers. Those officers missed the burial of their loved ones and will never forget how this man treated them
@SecretCicero Ah ok. So publications matter now? Let’s hope they do a proactive investigation and hunt for any other possible victims that may be out there
@SecretCicero I have voted as proxy on behalf of Ch Supt Cat Paton (now ACC Paton)
Vote is based on previous performance however learning opportunities have been identified
@SecretCicero@ScotPolAuth@Channel4’s “Dirty Business” showed what happens when companies police and regulate themselves.
PSD allocating complaints about PSD… to PSD… feels uncomfortably similar.
Definitely worth watching.
@SecretCicero Keep going. You’re shining a light on serious systemic failings that would otherwise stay buried. These issues need answers, not silence.
Fairness. Integrity. Respect…
@SecretCicero Exactly. There’s no meaningful scrutiny because accountability would expose just how much of this spend is about protecting reputations, not public interest — it’s cheaper to burn millions than say ‘we got it wrong’
@SecretCicero Police Scotland are blocking legally qualified chairs because they “don’t understand policing.”
Yet the only panel consistently getting decisions right is legally qualified.
PAT’s overturn rate says everything.
@SecretCicero Police Scotland were told in 2019 to fix this mess by putting legally qualified, independent chairs in charge of misconduct hearings. A clear, credible solution — ignored.
This isn’t a system failing… it’s a system they refused to repair.
@Lenny2016139845@SecretCicero I agree. I’ve had a look to see if there’s any information available on a possible investigation because that track record is worryingly bad. This is all I could find though…
