BACKGROUND
In January 2021, Senior Leadership Board approved a new operating model for Specially Trained Officers (STOs) across Scotland which would see the number of STOs be increased from the then current cadre of around 500 to around 2000 over a 3-year period. This model was presented to the SPA Policing Performance Committee on 01 September 2021 and approved. The uplift was completed in March 2024.
