Background
Between March 2023 and September 2023, HMICS conducted a thematic review of organisational culture in Police Scotland. The report was published on 7 December 2023.
The objectives for the inspection were to:
Identify how culture has been established, influenced, and understood in Police Scotland. (Identifying the predominant and competing culture/sub-cultures in Scottish Policing by considering leadership, values, and behaviours).
Assess how culture(s) impact on the efficient and effective service delivery of policing (considering performance, wellbeing, abstraction/productivity).
Consider what is being done to address any issues (from theory and practice using benchmarking and case studies).
The report identified 11 recommendations including 23 areas of development.
