Strategic engagement
First Minister
Last Thursday, 16 May, I met with First Minister John Swinney MSP at the Scottish Parliament. I was grateful for this early opportunity to discuss my priorities for policing and I look forward to a continued strong and open relationship between Police Scotland and the Scottish Government.
COSLA Leaders meeting
On Friday, 26 April, along with the Scottish Police Authority Chair Martyn Evans, I addressed the COSLA Leader's meeting in Edinburgh. This was an important opportunity to meet key partners in local authorities and to share perspectives on how we can build on the existing strong collaboration between councils and policing as we evolve our Service.
