A POLICE officer has been suspended after an allegation of rape at Tulliallan Police College.

An investigation is now being carried out by Police Scotland after the alleged incident which was reported at the training base in Kincardine earlier this month.

Assistant Chief Constable Alan Speirs said: “A report of a serious sexual assault was received on Friday, 14 October, 2022 and an investigation by a team of specialist officers was launched immediately.

“An officer was also suspended at that time. He remains suspended while this investigation continues.”
