If necessary, we can be directed by Scottish Ministers to look into anything relating to the SPA or Police Scotland as they consider appropriate. We also have an established role in providing professional advice and guidance on policing in Scotland. ■ Our powers allow us to do anything we consider necessary or expedient for the purposes of, or in connection with, the carrying out of our functions ■ The SPA and the Chief Constable must provide us with such assistance and co-operation as we may require to enable us to carry out our functions ■ When we publish a report, the SPA and the Chief Constable must also consider what we have found and take such measures, if any, as they think fit ■ Where our report identifies that the SPA or Police Scotland is not efficient or effective (or best value not secured), or will, unless remedial measures are taken, cease to be efficient or effective, Scottish Ministers may direct the SPA to take such measures as may be required.
