Abstraction of officers to other duties
In its submission to the Committee Police Scotland confirmed that "in times of crisis" railway policing officers would be abstracted to carry out other policing duties, if the Chief Constable decided it was necessary, saying that: "in times of crisis for example a major incident such as a terrorist attack, the Chief Constable reserves the right to deploy resources as necessary to deal with any threat posed".11Police Scotland.
