Complaint made against Phil Gormley is thought to relate to his interactions with a junior officerScotland’s chief police constable is being investigated for alleged gross misconduct after a complaint by another officer. No details have been released about the nature of the complaint, but it is thought that it concerns Gormley’s interactions with a junior officer. “I can confirm I was informed by the PIRC that I am the subject of a conduct investigation,” Gormley said. The PIRC would pass on its findings to the Scottish Police Authority (SPA), which would decide whether a misconduct hearing is required. “If they think it’s necessary to call on the chief constable to stand aside, they will do that, but I would think that’s quite a jump,” he said.
