The Chief of the British Transport Police has expressed her dismay at the level of abuse witnessed on social media in response to the appointment of the force’s new Assistant Chief Constable, Karen Findlay. Findlay assumed her new role on February 16, transitioning from the Metropolitan Police where she had served for several years.
Chief Constable Lucy D’Orsi issued a statement on X today (Saturday, February 17), condemning the “vile, nasty, and homophobic messages” directed at Findlay following the announcement.
