Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 30 November 2023
Date : 30 November 2023
Location : COSLA, Edinburgh
2024/25 Financial Planning
The Scottish Government is expected to outline its draft budget for 2024/25 before the end of the year. It will then be subject to the parliamentary process. Significant effort and engagement have taken place internally with Police Scotland over the last few months to understand and detail the financial requirements for policing in 2024/25.
The results of this work have been considered in detail by our Resources Committee and are tabled today in public session for discussion and wider visibility.
I want to thank all those involved in these discussions, including Police Scotland and the Authority’s leadership teams, Police Scotland’s finance function and Board members. Significant time and effort have gone in to reaching a detailed and informed financial ask of the Scottish Government for policing next year.
