Location : Crown Plaza, Glasgow
Strategic Engagement
Stakeholder Engagement
In December 2022, I welcomed the Rt Hon Tom Tugendhat MP, and then in January 2023, the Rt Hon Suella Braverman KC MP, to the Scottish Crime Campus, Gartcosh. They were provided with an overview of the wider multi-agency collaboration work the campus facilitates in relation to counter terrorism, serious and organised crime and international criminality.
Chief Constable's Council
There have been two meetings of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) since the last Board. In December, I travelled to Birmingham and attended the meeting in person, and took part virtually at the Council in January 2023.
Policing and communities in Scotland benefit from our participation in, and collaboration with NPCC. Similarly, Police Scotland has a valuable contribution to offer colleagues in the NPCC, which will continue to support and enhance the provision of policing across the United Kingdom.
Local Authority Engagement
On Thursday 13 December 2022, Deputy Chief Constable Malcolm Graham and other members of the Police Scotland senior leadership team contributed to a virtual meeting of the COSLA Police Scrutiny Convener’s Forum. The meeting once again underlined the importance of local policing across Scotland, and facilitated positive discussion on a number of areas of shared interest, including Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy and local policing plans.
