John Mauger has used Freedom of Information (FOI) legislation to grill the single force about a range of controversial topics, including the qualifications held by his fellow assistant chief constables.

A senior MSP said the move was “unprecedented”.

Mauger, 52, served at the Metropolitan and Essex forces before becoming second in command at Central Scotland police in 2009.
