Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 26 February 2023
Date : 23 February 2023
Location : Crown Plaza, Glasgow
Introduction
On 16 January 2023, Constable David Carrick, a serving Metropolitan Police officer pled guilty to serious sexual and related offences and was sentenced on 07 February 2023.
On 20 January, the Home Office announced that all forces in England and Wales are to check staff against national databases to identify if anyone has ‘slipped through the net’. The National Police Chiefs’ Council confirmed that all police officers and staff in England and Wales will be checked against the Police National Database (PND) to identify any intelligence or allegations that need further investigation. The direction from NPCC to Chief Constables has asked them to take immediate action to enable checks to be completed by 31 March 2023.
Although policing in Scotland is devolved, on 20 January Police Scotland committed to undertake this work and more, and this paper outlines the proposed plans overseen by DCC Fiona Taylor and led by ACC Alan Speirs.
