Father-of-two Sheku Bayoh died after he was restrained on the ground by six police officers in 2015
Family liaison officers are assigned to support families who have been affected by a crime or other serious circumstances. The retired officer previously said he was told Pirc FLOs would be available the day after Bayoh’s death, which contradicts with the minutes of a meeting that said Police Scotland would assign an FLO to the family.
He replied: “Number one was that the family had asked for a senior officer and/or Garry McEwan to attend within 24 hours. “I would have probably left it two or three days and then went as a mark of respect as a senior officer.”
