Former Police Scotland officer hopes ‘torturous’ tribunal win will help women

Ex-firearms officer Rhona Malone, awarded nearly 1m for sexist victimisation, says pain and sacrifices outweigh any compensation

A former armed response officer awarded nearly 1m by Police Scotland over victimisation said the past few years had been torturous" and no amount of compensation could make up for the pain experienced.

Rhona Malone began her action against the force after a senior police officer said he did not want to see two female armed officers deployed together when there were sufficient male staff on duty.
