Background
The Local Policing Service Delivery Review (LPSDR) is an opportunity for the Police Service of Scotland, together with our key stakeholders (citizens and staff), to undertake a review on how we deliver our local policing services. This will ensure that we continue to improve the safety and wellbeing of people, places and communities, in a way which is agile, innovative and effective.
Since the creation of the Police Service of Scotland in April 2013, there has been no fundamental review into how Local Policing is delivered in Scotland. The nature and demands on Policing have changed significantly. We are helping more people than ever in mental health distress, there has been an exponential rise in digitally enabled crime and our communities rightly expect the same level of visibility and prevention.
LPSDR will enable the organisation to understand and record what services we deliver efficiently and effectively, whilst also allowing for transformation to ensure that it is best positioned to collaboratively meet the future needs of our communities.
The work will also position itself holistically within the wider transformation landscape, using Service Design methodology at its core.
Although LPSDR is not intended to deliver gold-plated solutions, it is aimed at developing effective and efficient services, removing waste, eliminating frustration, minimising bureaucracy and adding value at each stage for the benefit of the users.
