The Scottish Police Authority held a virtual roundtable event on Thursday 4 August 2022. The theme was: ‘Oversight of Policing and the Pandemic’. It followed on from a related roundtable held in 2021, when the focus was on the immediate operational police response.
Stakeholders and members of the public were able to watch the event through our LiveStream channel. They raised comments and questions in the chat function. They could submit comments and questions in advance to discussion panels via our Citizen Space portal. You can watch the event on this page and find more information in 'Related Content' below.
