Reporting our performance and impact

Police Scotland’s delivery of this Phase one three-year plan will be reported to the Scottish Police Authority (SPA).

We have put in place strong performance management arrangements and systematically measure performance, progress and impact across all our areas of activity. We are committed to transparent and accountable reporting and will continue to use this to identify, monitor and report on improvement actions across our service.

We are committed to benchmarking our performance against comparable organisations and use this to consider new ways of doing things. We will continue to conduct rigorous and transparent reviews and appraisals of options across all areas of our work and where appropriate develop relevant and prioritised improvement actions.

Our reporting of performance, progress and impact to the SPA will enable effective scrutiny of whether our strategic and operational objectives are being met. Progress against individual commitments within this plan will be reported regularly to SPA.

We will also report proactively on the delivery and re-investment of the benefits of our investment in change and transformation.

Success will mean that we are delivering an effective police service that meets the changing needs of the public and communities we serve. Our officers and staff will have the skills, resources and technology to enable them to deliver high quality services within a positive working environment that supports their wellbeing and development.
