  • Tayside Joint Police Board
    . Agenda Item No. TAYSIDE JOINT POLICE BOARD 23 August 1999 Report by the Chief Constable No. PB 37/1999 SUBJECT: AIR SUPPORT Abstract: This report outlines the benefits offered by Air Support operations and the unique role they are able undertake to enhance traditional policing, rapidly and over a large geographical area. The report seeks the Boards approval to assess the means by which such coverage could be obtained on a permanent basis. 1. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Board:- i) note the terms of this report and the benefits accrued to date from the use of Air Support to enhance the traditional policing functions, and ii) support the pursuance of Air Support coverage for the Tayside Police area and the development of an associated business case. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Reference is made to Paragraph 4 Minute of Meeting of Tayside Joint Police Board of 24 August 1998 wherein the Board agreed to make representation to the Scottish Office for the Tayside Police area to have access to air support on the same basis as elsewhere. 2.2 Air Support has increasingly become accepted by the police service as being unique in its ability to enhance daily policing operations, rapidly and over a large geographical area. A briefing paper on the benefits of Air Support is attached at Appendix „A‟. 2.3 The operations of Air Support Units elsewhere have, over the past 13 years, repeatedly confirmed the value of such a facility to the police service. A significant number of those forces however benefited from provision by the Home Office of supplementary or „Pump Priming‟ finances, thought necessary to ease the initial establishment of an Air Support Unit.

  • BROUGHTY FERRY to 1913 by Professor Hugh M Begg
    BROUGHTY FERRY TO 1913 By Professor Hugh M Begg Introduction The history of Broughty Ferry and has always been intimately linked with that of Dundee as a place of resort, later as a haven for the wealthy, and later still has a residence for commuters. The annexation of Broughty Ferry by its near neighbour, Dundee, on 5th November 1913 has renewed interest in the history of the former Burgh. The general outlines have been well rehearsed elsewhere and these provide a framework within which further research in greater depth and more detail can usefully be undertaken. The notes which follow have been prepared with two purposes in mind: first, to draw together for the benefit of future local historians the array of authoritative work which has already been undertaken; and, second, to place that history within a geographical framework. A bibliography has been appended to demonstrate what has so far been achieved and in the hope that it will encourage further work in areas not yet adequately covered. With the above purposes in mind these notes something of the chronology of events in Broughty Ferry until the enactment of the Dundee Boundaries Bill in 1913. It draws particular attention to the role of planned development in shaping the structure and morphology of the settlement. The principle actors in that process were the land owners who fued grounds and, by way of their agents, set and enforced requirements for its development. By the start of the twentieth century much of the street pattern and many of the existing buildings were in place within the areas currently identified as West Ferry, the Central area and Hillside (Malcolm1910).
