Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 30 November 2023
Date : 30 November 2023
Location : COSLA, Edinburgh
COSLA / Local Scrutiny Engagement
On 17 November I attended the national COSLA Police Scrutiny Conveners’ Forum, alongside DCC Malcolm Graham. The forum provides an opportunity to update conveners on the range of partnership activity underway across policing and local government, as well as seeking input to developing areas of work. Councillor Chalmers, COSLA Community Wellbeing spokesperson, chairs the forum and will update on that and other COSLA specific feedback during her standing agenda item at the December meeting of Policing Performance Committee.
The most recent round of regional local policing scrutiny meetings took place earlier this month, supported by myself and DCC Malcolm Graham. These provide an opportunity to discuss issues of local, regional, and national importance with Elected Members, and provide further detail on the national and specialist provision which supports delivery of policing in every local community. I am grateful to COSLA and local police scrutiny representatives for their continued and positive engagement.
