Background
The creation of Police Scotland in 2013 represented major public sector reform and was an innovative and ambitious response to austerity to protect and improve services. £2 billion was saved for the public purse over the first decade.
In recent years, we have been responding to rising and increasingly complex community and individual needs. Our Chief Constable has been clear that further opportunities for policing reform exist and Police Scotland must be fit for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
In our 2030 Vision we outlined our ambitions for the future of policing in Scotland, putting the delivery of safer communities, less crime, being victim focused and building a thriving police workforce at the heart of everything we do.
This plan documents the work we will do over the first three years of activity as we progress towards achieving our vision. We are currently midway through Year 1 of Phase 1. This plan therefore reflects the relevant commitments outlined in our 2024/25 Annual Police Plan.
