“Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just a promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean?” - Brennan Lee Mulligan
A police officer is given something that few people in society ever receive: authority.
That authority is not only the power to enforce the law. It is the ability to enter people's lives at their most vulnerable moments. A police officer may arrive when someone is frightened, injured, distressed, or in danger. People open their doors because they believe the person standing there has come to help. At least that's what they want you to think. That belief is the foundation of policing. Trust. But trust can also be broken and stepped on..
When “allegations” and i put these in quote marks because we all know these aren't "allegations emerged that a person who held that position may have abused it, the consequences reach far beyond one individual. They affect victims. They affect communities. And they affect confidence in the entire organisation.
In 2026, Police Scotland launched an investigation into former officer Alan Greer. Police say the investigation uncovered allegations of serious sexual offences involving multiple women and spanning many years. The case has become one of the most significant investigations into a serving police officer in Scotland.
Let's talk about the abuser Alan Greer.
This episode is about the investigation, the people affected, and the wider questions raised about policing, accountability and trust.
It is about what happens when the institution created to protect people has to investigate one of its own.
