A CAITHNESS police officer has been appointed to a new role in the west of Scotland.
Inspector Maurice Lindsay, a former pupil of Dunbeath Primary and Wick High schools, has taken up the post of the new community policing inspector for East Kilbride.
His main role will be to ensure all the officers under his command engage with the public by attending community council meetings and residents’ associations and to encourage and expand that contact.
Inspector Lindsay has specialised in community policing since he joined the force in the mid-1990s.
The inspector has worked throughout the west of Scotland during his career from the urban areas of Pollokshields and Govanhill to the rural communities of Oban and Mull.
Inspector Lindsay is not the only member of his family to have links with the police in the west of Scotland. His great-great-grandfather, James Sinclair of Milton, Dunbeath, also left Caithness and served nearly 40 years in the former City of Glasgow Police Force, retiring in 1910. Both men served in the same division.
The inspector lives near Stirling with his wife, Karen, and three children.
