Glasgow's police chief has urged Glaswegians to 'play their part' in the battle against coronavirus and help protect the NHS and save lives.
Chief Supt Hendren praised the 'majority' of the public for their understanding and willingness to stay home during the pandemic.
The Chief Supt echoed Police Scotland Chief Constable Iain Livingstone's earlier comments during the Scottish Government's daily briefing, in which he thanked Scots for their 'high levels of cooperation and consent'.
And with police patrolling Glasgow's streets 24 hours a day, Chief Supt Hendren emphasised they will only use enforcement as a 'last resort' amid increased reports of people flaunting lockdown rules.
She said: “I am grateful for the overwhelming support from the majority of the public who are complying with the Scottish Government guidance.
“I recognise that people have made significant changes to their daily lives and at times it has been incredibly difficult.
“As the Chief Constable said today, we need everybody to continue to play their part to protect the NHS and save lives.
“Police Scotland officers are out across Greater Glasgow every day, speaking to people and explaining the legislation to them. We will always encourage people to comply and use enforcement only as a last resort.
“Our day-to-day work continues as well and it is important that people continue to come forward to report crimes or concerns they might have about someone who could be at risk of harm.”
