Officers on suspension and restricted duties
Finally, it was reported to your evidence session on 24 April 2024 that the Scottish Police Authority stopped publishing reports of officers and staff suspended or on restricted duties. On the contrary this information is reported to the Authority’s Complaints and Conduct Committee quarterly. It is also published on the Authority’s website and the vast majority of meetings are live streamed for openness and transparency. They can also be viewed as archived meetings on the Authority’s website. The most recent report was considered by the Committee in February 2024.
I trust this information provides the Criminal Justice Committee with information to aid its scrutiny of the Police (Ethics, Conduct and Scrutiny) (Scotland) Bill.
