British police officer, Chief Constable of Police Scotland
Police say a bonfire night operation has seen fireworks aimed at emergency crews in Glasgow, Edinburgh and other cities. One man is arrested; a police vehicle was set alight and several fires were extinguished as officers, with forces from across the UK, quell disorder and protect communities.
A wave of convictions against Police Scotland officers for sexual and physical abuse spans 2014–2023. The courts have handed down sentences, with one officer receiving 12 years in prison and others facing lengthy terms. The cases highlight a crisis of confidence and emphasize the need for reforms in policing.
