‘Newsnight has spoken to women about the misogyny they faced while working in our police force…’ Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar challenges First Minister Humza Yousaf over Newsnight's report of a 'boys club' culture in Police Scotland Read more:

Four women have spoken to BBC Newsnight about allegations of a "boys club" culture at all levels of Police Scotland, the UK's second largest force.

She says that when she challenged that behaviour, she was wrongly accused of throwing her utility belt with a loaded firearm.The final straw was an email in 2018 from her senior officer which said two female firearms officers should not be working together when there were male staff on duty. Angela Wilson, the former assistant chief constable of Tayside Police, was one of the officers who openly criticised Police Scotland over Ms Malone's case.

"After that, it all kind of became 'she's a problem, she's got mental health issues, she's just causing trouble'," Ms Gallivan said.Ms Gallivan said one male colleague in particular disliked her. "The onus is on us to address policy, process and education gaps and challenge bias at every level and wherever it occurs to maintain and build confidence with all communities.

In relation to Ms Malone, Police Scotland said it had made a public apology to the former firearms officer and in the days after the employment tribunal judgment, the chief constable commissioned the Police Service of Northern Ireland to carry out an independent review of the decision.
