Statement on conviction of Police Constable Craig Glen

Chief Superintendent Helen Harrison, Head of Police Scotland’s Professional Standards Department, said: “Craig Glen’s actions go against everything Police Scotland stands for.

“Our thoughts are with the victims in this case, and I hope this conviction provides them with some measure of closure. I commend their strength in reporting these crimes and bringing this individual to justice.

“We understand how difficult it can be to report these kinds of offences, particularly when the perpetrator is a police officer. We want the public to be reassured that all reports are thoroughly investigated, no matter when the offending took place or who is involved.”

“All officers are bound by our Standards of Professional Behaviour, which apply on and off duty.

“Any instance where an officer fails to uphold our standards will be investigated and appropriate action taken.

“As the criminal case has now concluded, misconduct proceedings will now commence.”
