Police Scotland paid out £500,000 in compensation to officers who missed time off due to Trump visit
Police Scotland, Donald Trump visited the UK Golf clubs due to the time to pay £ 500,000 to civil servants who could not take time.
A large operation was organized by visiting the holiday villages in the South Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire, where the US president spent a few days in July, where Sir Keir Starmer and Scottish Minister John Swinney also hosted.
In August, he followed a separate visit by Vice President JD Vance, who was on holiday with his family.
During a recent police meeting, Vice President Jane Connors said that with both visits, it was çok a very busy summer for policing in Scotland ve and provides regular daily security throughout the country.
On Thursday, he said to a Scottish Police Administration (SPA) meeting in Glasgow: “He puts pressure on our staff, who we know is very tired after a long summer.”
It was revealed by Alan Speirs, Vice President of the Chief, spent £ 500,000 in July instead of the officers who could not make a holiday due to policing demands.
If it is done to cancel or skip the time in Lieu, civil servants can get overtime payments or take three months to request their time before the force gets back from them.
He said: “Unfortunately, only for us in July was 0.5 million £ because the officers could not return, which shows that there was a real demand for me for me, and largely through events.
“The tough tendency is very important, so we will continue to look at it monthly. Managing this element of the budget is a growing difficulty for us.
“We don’t want the officers to be closed when the officers need to be closed, so they are sad to have to make up for them by paying for things like toil.”
Before Mr. Trump’s visit, Tiff Lynch, the National President of the England and Wales Police Federation, said: “Let’s be clear: This is a special visit by a president to play golf.
“And 1,500 officers – one -third of the average police force in England and Wales – we remove it from normal tasks to support it.
