Building on Success
Over the last year, Police Scotland’s outcomes focused performance framework provided consistent reporting throughout a challenging period. The 2021/22 Performance Framework allowed Police Scotland to illustrate the challenges of the ongoing pandemic coupled with the re-introduction of many policing events that had subsided in the previous year. Scheduled sporting and political events, the extended reopening of the courts
system, the resumption of the night-time economy, busier roads and beauty spots from domestic tourism required careful management in line with COVID-19 legislation.
In addition to meeting the challenges of a society returning to normal, the flexibility in our approach allowed us to demonstrate the changing nature of the challenges placed on policing. The framework was able to evidence to the SPA Board and the public the complexity of new and emerging crimes, the demand placed on
Police Scotland due to the reduction in capacity from other supporting services, the expanded use of technology and the growth of cyber enabled crime and the professionalism from staff and officers to provide a safe and secure COP26.
This refreshed performance framework will continue to help the SPA Board and the public to understand the complexities of delivering an effective police service. Police Scotland will build on the success of the SPA Quarterly Performance Report and the Annual Police Plan Bi-Annual Report by embedding new insights on policing performance.
