Implications
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are financial implications associated with the update in terms of the deliverables for 2025/26, which are subject to governance and budget approval.
Despite the current financial challenges to meet the ambition of the strategy, significant investment in our people, technology, estates, processes and structure is paramount.
PERSONNEL IMPLICATIONS
There are personnel implications associated with this update in terms of the associated projects and deliverables. Longer term, organisational change will be proposed in relation to structures required to enhance capabilities to prevent and deal more effectively with cyber dependant and enabled crimes.
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
These are addressed and mitigated through the provision of our Rights Based Pathway which ensures that the introduction of new technologies is legally and ethically compliant.
REPUTATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
There may be reputational implications for Police Scotland if the improved capabilities and capacity are not delivered.
EQUALITIES IMPLICATIONS
There are no equality implications in this report. All relevant documents will be completed in line with the formal investment governance process e.g. at Business Case stage. This will include a full consideration of rights-based challenges within relevant EQHRIA and DPIAs.
