Report Summary

A Public Briefing outlining analysis of Fixed Penalty Notices issued during the COVID-19 pandemic. Published in October 2021.


Purpose

The Strategic Police Plan commits to the provision of policing for a safe, protected and resilient Scotland. This requires designing and maintaining services which meet rising and evolving demands in a constantly changing environment. To meet these demands now and in the future Scotland’s police service must adapt and proportionately adopt new ways of working, policies and technologies which will enable them to protect the safety and wellbeing of our communities (as outlined in the Policing Principles - Section 32 of Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012).

This series of public focused and user-friendly factsheets have been developed to provide an overview of the benefits of new policing approaches and upcoming developments within policing, the policies that will govern them, and the ethical, privacy and human rights implications. For further reading, Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority have also published a range of associated material that will be signposted at the end of this document.
