Territorial police force for central Scotland’s west, Glasgow and surrounds
Police Scotland is investigating multiple alleged victims of PC Alan Greer, who died in May. The inquiry has identified eight more victims, five of whom were sex workers, all attacked while he was off duty. Authorities urge victims to come forward as the investigation, described as one of the largest anti‑corruption inquiries, continues.
Crime trends indicate a broad national decline across many categories, with homicide rates near historic lows. Yet Scotland faces ongoing concerns where youth violence and knife incidents persist, prompting policy responses and debates about the best public safety approaches.
