The Liberal Democrats have continued their campaign against a single, centralized police force for Scotland in Edinburgh.
Alistair Carmichael and candidate for Edinburgh Central Alex Cole-Hamilton met the Assistant Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders Police at Fettes Avenue Police Station before a photo and interview opportunity outside the station.
Commenting, Alistair Carmichael said:
"If Labour, the SNP and the Tories got their way, police decisions would be taken away from local police chiefs and given to nationally controlled bureaucrats.
"The Liberal Democrats are the only party campaigning against plans to create a single, centralised police force for Scotland.
"We are taking our campaign to Facebook today and want as many people as possible to sign up and save Scotland's police.
"This cut would not save money in the short term, which is when we need it to make progress cutting the deficit."
