It comes as figures obtained by the Scottish Conservatives through freedom of information request, revealed that 177 police stations around the country contain the potentially harmful substance.
The substance was banned in construction by 1999 but is still present in may older buildings. It can cause serious lung and respiratory conditions.
But with 214 police stations across Scotland, there are just 37 that do not contain any asbestos.
All 13 divisions of Police Scotland contain stations with asbestos, while three – Tayside, Edinburgh and the Lothians and Scottish Borders – include reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), the lightweight material used in the deadly Grenfell Tower fire in 2017.

The highest number of stations with asbestos is found in Aberdeenshire and Moray where 25 buildings contain the material, followed by 23 in Greater Glasgow and 21 in Tayside.
19 buildings in the Lothians and Scottish Borders contain asbestos, as do 18 in Lanarkshire and 11 each in Edinburgh, Argyll and West Dunbartonshire and Ayrshire.
Fife and Dumfries and Galloway have 10 buildings each with asbestos, Forth Valley, nine, Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, six and Highlands and Islands, three.
The precise stations affected by asbestos and RAAC have not been revealed.
Liam Kerr, justice spokesman for the Scottish Tories, said the “dangerous” figures must act as a wake up call for the Scottish Government.
The party also warned that the Scottish Police Federation (SPF) has warned about the state of police stations in the country for years.
In evidence to Holyrood‘s justice committee in 2019, former SPF general secretary Calum Steele described Ayr station as “probably being carved out of asbestos”.
He described much of the police estate across Scotland as “frankly decrepit”.

Mr Kerr said: “It is utterly appalling and downright dangerous that any of Scotland’s police stations should still contain asbestos.
“The fact the vast majority do across the country is deeply alarming and puts our hardworking officers and staff at great risk.
“These shocking findings are the latest example of the SNP’s shameful neglect of Police Scotland.
“They have ignored warnings for years about Scotland’s crumbling police estate and left officers and staff working in these buildings to face the consequences.
“This must be an urgent wake up call for the SNP justice secretary to properly fund our police estate and guarantee asbestos will be removed from all of these stations where it is safe to do so as quickly as possible.”
Senior management at Police Scotland declared 29 stations were unfit for purpose in October 2023.
The force is considering the feasibility of retaining some stations as part of its 10-year Estates Masterplan.
It was revealed in 2023 that around 140 police stations across the country had been closed, with front desks falling from 340 in 2013 to 253 in 2023.
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “While responsibility for manging the police estate is for Police Scotland, we support their work to address issues in police buildings and welcome their commitment to providing a safe environment for officers, staff and the public.
“We have more than tripled the policing capital budget since 2017-18 and we are investing a record £1.64 billion for policing this year. This includes £70 million of capital funding to invest in resources and estates.”
