Benchmarking Measures
A set of 44 strategic measures of progress have been identified in Police Scotland’s Performance Framework, designed around the five main strategic outcomes set out in the Joint Strategy for Policing (2020). The full list is provided in Appendix 1.
The SLWG has agreed that a smaller set of comparative measures and data points from the 44 will be used for benchmarking purposes each year as identified in the annual Performance Framework, with a balance across the three themes of effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy, and in line with the benchmarking tiers described above.
Comparative figures already used in quarterly reporting to Policing Performance Committee include 999 demand and performance, Your Voice Matters survey results, and stop and search data.
