Policing Performance Committee - 12 September 2023

Date : 12 September 2023

Location : online


Background

The PPDP team was fully established in February 2022 with the initial task of determining Police Scotland’s current response to Public Protection (PP) through the review of structures, remits, resources, systems and processes. This holistic review would also consider the wider response, such as prevention and the role of C3 and Criminal Justice Service Division, ensuring all elements of our response are captured. This work will provide a platform to develop an improved, innovative and sustainable PP model for both Local and National policing.

There has not been a review of PP policing and structures since the inception of Police Scotland in 2013. In this time the needs of communities have grown significantly including through increased reporting and prevalence. Additionally improvements and new processes and legislation have contributed to increased pressure on this area of policing. All of this has undoubtedly improved the policing response, however, with no change in structure and minimal change in resourcing it is compromising our response now and in the future.

Supported by Service Design and professional services, a strategic approach was developed utilising the Scottish Approach to Service Design to ensure that any future model would be designed with those using or delivering services in Scotland. This approach is aligned to additional transformation work being undertaken within the force that is intrinsically linked to our PP response, namely;

  • Local Policing Service Delivery Review (LP-SDR)
  • Modernised Contact and Engagement (MCE)

This approach is facilitating all programmes to work independently but to collaborate on key areas with ease when required. It is reducing repetition, validating insights and providing a more in-depth understanding of existing interdependencies.
