Further Detail on the Report Topic

Our Three-Year Business Plan considers and expands on our Annual Police Plan 2024/25 commitments and details what we will do over the next three years to make progress against our strategic outcomes and priorities for policing. Our outcomes focused performance framework is being refreshed to align under Vision 2030 to describe how we will monitor and measure progress on our priorities for policing and strategic outcomes.

In the Bi-Annual Progress Report 2024/25, we are required to report on our progress on activities detailed in our 2024/25 Annual Policing Plan. This reporting has been shaped around the new Three-Year Business Plan with clear indicators showing how the original commitments are reflected.

This report contains an initial update on each of the year one milestones, with a full assessment on progress to be reported in the Chief Constable’s Assessment of Performance at the end of 2024/25.

There are legal aspects to be considered in terms of reporting against the activities set out in this year’s Annual Police Plan to inform the Annual Report and Accounts 2025/26; but it is also important to provide informative insight into activity undertaken by Police Scotland, under the Three-Year Business Plan, that will be of interest to members of the public and partners.

To address this challenge, it was agreed that Police Scotland would produce two distinct but complementary reports as part of the Performance Framework for 2024/25: the Police Plan Bi-Annual Progress report; and the Quarterly Performance report.

The updates in this report provide insight into the work undertaken by our officers and staff that contribute to progress against Police Scotland’s five strategic outcomes but are aligned to the new commitments under Vision 2030.
