A former officer who was victimised while working for Police Scotland says she was failed by the force.
In a statement published a day after her £947,909.07 compensation deal was confirmed, Ms Malone said the last few years had been "excruciating and torturous".
The tribunal accepted evidence that there was an "absolute boys' club" culture within the armed response vehicle team in the east of Scotland. "Both organisations failed me and grossly underestimated my determination for acknowledgment and accountability," she said.Ms Malone said the federation withdrew legal support for her case in 2019 when she refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement and accept a "derisory" financial settlement."At a time when I was at my most vulnerable and reliant on their support financially and mentally, I was abandoned, ignored, and discarded," she said.
"Ms Malone's claims that she was abandoned, ignored and discarded by the Federation are demonstrably untrue," the federation added.Chief Constable Iain Livingstone has personally apologised to Ms Malone for issues highlighted in the tribunal, according to a joint statement issued by Police Scotland and their former employee on Friday.
