A Glasgow-based police officer charged with attempted fraud has been allowed to remain in her job. The detective <\/a>constable, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was arrested in October 2024 but has continued to work on full pay on restricted duties.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the case relates to allegations of false bank <\/a>statements in connection with the officer’s divorce, the Sunday Mail<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: \u201cA 45-year-old woman was arrested and charged in connection with an attempted fraud in October 2024. A report has been submitted to the \u00adprocurator fiscal.\u201d<\/p>\n

A source said: \u201cThe officer involved is a Glasgow<\/a>-based detective and has been charged with attempted fraud over allegations relating to her divorce and bank statements.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is amazing she has not even been suspended.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officers charged with crimes are often allowed to remain in post on full pay pending the outcome of their case. Their continued service is assessed on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n

Serious crimes often lead to suspension where they continue to be paid.<\/p>\n

In a number of cases, some officers found guilty of a crime <\/a>have resigned or retired to avoid misconduct proceedings and being fired.<\/p>\n

In 2024 senior officers demanded sweeping new powers to root out rogue staff and dismiss them.<\/p>\n

It followed a series of cases where officers remained suspended and on full pay for years while under investigation for serious criminal offences.<\/p>\n

In many cases they were then able to resign before misconduct proceedings could be concluded or disciplinary action taken.<\/p>\n

The Sunday Mail previously reported that a rogue PC was suspended but remained on full pay during a case that took almost three years to conclude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The detective constable, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was arrested in October 2024 but has continued…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":690172,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,530,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-690171","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-police-scotland","12":"tag-scotland","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115879878644723842","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=690171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/690172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=690171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=690171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=690171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
