Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a positional update on Police Scotland’s Hate Crime Improvement Plan. The plan is being developed in response to recommendations identified during the Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS) Thematic Inspection of Hate Crime in Scotland, published in June 2021.
The plan was initially shared with HMICS on 3 December 2021 and presented to the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) Policing Performance Committee (PPC) on 9 December 2021. Due to unprecedented impacting factors, the redeployment of resources during early 2022 in response to Op Talla, greater abstractions to events and loss of staff due to retirement and transfer, original target dates were not achieved.
These delays were reported to HMICS and SPA resulting in an action at the PPC meeting on 7 June 2022 (Action: PPC 20220607-002). It was agreed Police Scotland would review, amend and report on an updated plan. This is now presented in the appendice.
Members are invited to discuss the contents of this report.
