Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has issued a statement expressing his anger and condemnation of the online abuse directed at Commander Karen Findlay following her appointment as the new Assistant Chief Constable of the British Transport Police (BTP).
Findlay’s appointment was announced on Friday, marking a significant professional achievement for her.
