Item 5
5. HMICS SCRUTINY PLAN
The Committee Chair welcomed CNaylor to the Committee, who provided a detailed overview of the recently published HMICS Scrutiny Plan.
In discussion the following matters were raised:
Members were informed that there were no revisions to the initial consultation areas and changes were around prioritisation.
Members heard it was unlikely that HMICS would recommend similar messaging on mental health to the Metropolitan Police. HMICS would be looking at how partners work more effectively with Police Scotland to manage responses and treatment.
Regarding the three strategic reviews, Members heard focus would be on front line capacity and capability, and in-person training.
Members welcomed the focus on joint inspections.
The Committee RESOLVED to:
• NOTE the report.
