Implications

Financial

There is the possibility of financial implications in this report. Recommendation 7 highlights the need for a full training analysis to be conducted across the organisation before a full training picture can be established. The term "re-establish" implies the need to revive past training environments and partnership governance structures with minimal resource and cost implications. The exact cost of the training will have to be calculated when fully understood. However, these costs can potentially be shared across organisations and consideration to Scottish Government for financial support. Due to this, implementing previous iterations of training can help save costs, time, and resources, resulting in a shorter implementation time.

For this recommendation to be impactful, it is essential to consider interdependencies from partner agencies' support and capacity.

Personnel Implications

There are no personnel implications in this report. It is acknowledged that any change to the whole system approach could positively benefit frontline policing and as stated in the review, afford Police Scotland’s effectiveness and efficiency in performing it’s traditional role of preventing and detecting crime.
