  • Policing 2026 – Questions and Answers 1. General 2. Consultation
    Policing 2026 – Questions and answers 1. General 2. Consultation process and decision making 3. Next steps and implementation 1. General What is the Policing 2026 programme? Policing 2026 is a collaborative and strategic programme, led jointly by the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) and Police Scotland, to transform policing in Scotland over the next 10 years. The strategy identifies ways to create operational capacity for policing to focus on investigations, prevention and protection in the public, private and virtual space. It sets out how Police Scotland can address new and changing challenges and improve outcomes for people, communities and places by becoming a more flexible and adaptable workforce and managing demand more efficiently. In an age of increasing uncertainty and ambiguity, the strategy sets out the basis on which Police Scotland will put the needs of the citizen at the heart of shaping its services. Supported by the increased investment for policing in the Scottish Government’s 2017-18 budget, and subject to the availability of future funding, we establish how over the first three years of implementation we can place policing onto a financially- sustainable footing, and do so at a measured pace that maintains public confidence and the morale and wellbeing of the police workforce. The strategy identifies the huge potential for new technology and new approaches to contribute to improved outcomes. By recognising that these are not decisions for policing to take in isolation, consultation on the strategy began national discussion and debate. The strategy was published in draft to allow the public and stakeholders to consider the issues raised through a period of consultation between February and May 2017.

    OFFICIAL 1 Pacific Quay Glasgow G51 1DZ [email protected] Mr John Finnie MSP Convener Justice Sub-Committee on Policing The Scottish Parliament Edinburgh EH99 1SP 11 February 2021 CO/103/2020 Dear Mr Finnie Policing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) & Euro 2020 Championships Thank you for your correspondence of 22 December in relation to the policing of COP26 and re-scheduled Euro 2020 Championships, and for the opportunity to update Sub-Committee members on preparations. COP26 The Scottish Police Authority (SPA), in dialogue with Police Scotland and the Scottish and UK Governments, continue to plan on the agreed working assumption that the Conference will proceed in-person on the re-scheduled dates of 1 – 12 November 2021. Covid-19 remains a significant risk. Changes to circumstances continue to be reviewed and the final decision to go ahead (and the format) rests with the UK Government. Ongoing SPA Oversight The Authority’s COP26 Oversight Group, attended by Police Scotland’s Gold Commander for the event and other senior staff, the Scottish Government and HMICS, was established in February last year to seek assurances around recovering additional costs to Scottish policing, so there is no detriment to the policing budget; that the impact on day to day policing for communities is minimised; and that staff and officer health, safety and wellbeing are fully considered. The work of the COP26 Oversight Group, Chaired by Authority member Tom Halpin QPM, remains ongoing and will undoubtedly gather pace as we continue to approach the event later this year.

  • Driving Forward Data Informed Approaches to Policing: Using Police Data to Assess Demand, Inform Deployment and Address Priorities
    Driving forward data informed approaches to policing: Using police data to assess demand, inform deployment and address priorities Key points of discussion A workshop was held on 24th October 2019 to discuss data informed approaches to policing. The main aim of the workshop was to generate discussion aimed at informing the strategic direction of data-use for research purposes to inform, support and improve priority areas of policing practice in Scotland. The workshop was attended by around 30 participants from a range of organisations, including Police Scotland, the Scottish Police Authority, the Violence Reduction Unit, HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland, the Information Commissioner’s Office, and a variety of Scottish Universities. The event was chaired by Barry Sillers (Scottish Police Authority) and presentations were given by Denis Hamill (Chief Data Officer for Police Scotland), Supt Stan Gilmour (Thames Valley Police), Professor Jon Bannister (Manchester Metropolitan University) and Professor Susan McVie (University of Edinburgh). In a facilitated discussion session, participants were asked to consider the presentations made by the speakers and consider six questions. Notes were taken during these discussions, and a summary of the responses to these questions is provided below. 1. What are the data priorities to inform policing practice in Scotland? Police Scotland priorities are numerous, and include: better understanding patterns of demand and response; increasing efficiency and effectiveness of policing resources; increasing the focus of work on prevention and targeted intervention; and promoting and supporting partnership working to ensure ‘whole systems’ approaches to keeping people safe. Some areas of work lend themselves especially well to data analysis, such as monitoring cyber-enabled and cyber-dependent crime.

  • Police Scotland National Fitness Standard Guidance
    POLICE SCOTLAND NATIONAL FITNESS STANDARD GUIDANCE NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED PURPOSE Police officers should attain sufficient role specific physical fitness which will enable them to undertake all the rigours and operational demands placed on them as individuals in a safe and effective manner. It is an essential part of the employer’s responsibility to ensure that recruits (and also serving officers) are “fit for duty” i.e. those candidates/recruits possess physical ability to perform the role of an operational police officer. If a candidate is selected who does not possess the core physical competencies and physical motor skills, then that individual is at increased risk of injury during training and, in particular, during the execution of their role as an operational police officer. This has significant Health and Safety implications both for the individual, their colleagues and the communities they serve. THE STANDARD A police officer should possess a degree of cardiovascular fitness. The fitness standard for Scotland must be facilitated on 5 formal occasions. • Scottish Police College (2 occasions) • 3 pre-confirmation assessments Selection The National fitness standard will form part of the selection process and will be administered on an achieve/fail to achieve basis. No candidate will be offered appointment unless they have achieved the required standard. Scottish Police College All new recruits to Police Scotland undertake a 11 week Initial Training Course at the Scottish Police College as part of the Probationer Training Programme. During this course, officers will complete the fitness standard on 2 occasions – week 1 and week 7. Confirmation The fitness standard will be conducted on 3 occasions by locally based training staff scheduled at weeks 40, 66 and 92 approximately.

  • British Transport Police Federation
    Justice Committee Railway Policing (Scotland) Bill Written submission from the British Transport Police Federation The British Transport Police Federation (BTP Federation) welcomes this opportunity to share its perspective and specific concerns of BTP officers in Scotland regarding the proposed integration with Police Scotland. We commend the Scottish Justice Committee for opening this evidence gathering to all stakeholders and the public. We have limited our responses to questions which directly affect BTP officers to best represent them in this submission. The BTP Federation sincerely hopes that the views of those most affected by the integration of the BTP in Scotland into Police Scotland, namely the BTP police officers required to transition into Police Scotland, will be given due consideration in the final decision for integration. 1. The Impact, if any which the devolution of railway policing will have in terms of retaining specialist skills and knowledge built up by British Transport Police Officers: The British Transport Police (BTP) have been policing the railway environment for over 100 years. They have a successful record of accomplishment ensuring a seamless Policing model throughout the country. BTP is a national Police service, with one command and control structure, one communications chain and one crime recording process. It is one of the most inspected and reviewed police forces in the UK and on every occasion since the creation of the British Transport Police Authority (BTPA) in 2001 these reviews have concluded that a national specialist railway policing service best serves passengers and the railway industry. The BTP is already accountable to several departments and organisations, ranging from the Department for Transport (DFT), Scottish Government Ministry of Transport through to Her Majesty‟s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) inspections (including Scotland), BTPA, the rail industry, their employees, Transport Focus Groups, and the millions of travelling passengers.
