Location : online


Background

The Your Safety Matters (YSM) Diamond Group, chaired by T/DCC Speirs, continues to develop and drive a number of work streams in relation to assaults on police officers and staff. The Group continues to have representation from Local Policing, Specialist Crime Division (SCD), Operational Support Division (OSD), Health & Safety, Corporate Communications, People & Development, Wellbeing, Corporate Services, SPA Forensic Services, staff associations, diversity staff associations and trade unions to support and deliver YSM across the organisation.

APU strategic analysts have provided the YSM Diamond Group with products which deliver an up-to-date view of assaults on police officers and staff. These analyses provide insights on, but not limited to, locations of assaults, the types of injuries sustained and a focus on repeat offenders and victims. This work has been important in establishing the national picture of assaults on police officers and staff across Scotland and has been used to underpin officer safety training and reviews of current processes.
