Report Summary

The 2022/23 Performance Framework is aligned to Police Scotland’s five strategic outcomes, underpinned by the strategic objectives as detailed in the Annual Police Plan 2022/23.

Police Scotland have built on last year’s performance framework and identified performance measures and evidence that will support the balance of quantitative and qualitative information, case studies, and insights provided elsewhere to provide a compelling and cohesive narrative.

Police Scotland will continue to produce three distinct but complementary reports as part of the Performance Framework for 2022/23, underpinned by an evidence bank to track progress on our Annual Police Plan Activities. This fully supports the legislative requirement to report on progress of the activities contained within the Annual Police Plan. Furthermore, this will support legislative reporting requirements whilst also
provide a wider and more detailed picture of traditional policing performance measures, supplemented with additional insight and narrative to the many different aspects of policing and corporate support functions.

These reports are:

The Bi-Annual Report

The Annual Police Plan clearly sets out five strategic outcomes, each supported by three distinct strategic objectives. The bi-annual report will provide a specific update on all activity aligned against all 15 strategic objectives at the six month point in the performance year. This is produced at the end of Q2 and combined with Chief Constable’s Year End Report at the end of Q4. This fully supports the legislative requirement to report on progress of the activities contained within the Annual Police Plan.

The Quarterly Performance Report Takes a more holistic approach on reporting against the five strategic outcomes as much of the activity reported will crossover and inform more than one of the strategic
objectives. This approach provides a wider and more detailed picture of traditional policing performance measures, supplemented with additional insight and narrative to the many different aspects of policing and
corporate support functions. This is produced at the end of each quarter and will support legislative reporting requirements.

Chief Constable’s Year End Report

Section 39 of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012, SPA must prepare the Annual Review of Policing (ARP) as soon as practicable after the end of each reporting year. In service of this report, the Chief Constable
is required to provide, within three months of the end of the reporting year 2021/2022, an assessment of the performance of the Police Service. This report provides an assessment of Police Scotland’s delivery of the Performance Framework five Outcomes and 27 Objectives, supported by key case studies, as well as a high level year trend analysis of major crime groups and a horizon scan of the coming year.
