Governance
Police Scotland (internal): All business cases for transformational change progress through the Investment Governance Framework. Each project reports to a Project Board, then Programme Board, progressing to Portfolio Management Group (PMG) and Change Board. The value and complexities of the project will determine the next/future governance steps, through SPA and Scottish Government.
Policing in a Digital World Professional Reference Group (external): Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority’s joint vision is to deliver comprehensive change to become a centre of excellence in digital and cyber policing. Following publication of the Cyber Strategy, the focus since then has been on planning for implementation and engagement with stakeholders and the public. The Scottish Police Authority is committed to supporting Police Scotland in building public trust through open and transparent discussion and engagement, promoting and supporting the need to build effective preventative partnerships and secure additional investment.
It is recognised that the strategy implementation and engagement plan will benefit from collaboration with key industry and public partners led by both Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority. This will support strategic delivery, while offering informed expertise and effective challenge as Police Scotland progresses with implementation of this future focused strategy. This resulted in the creation of the joint (SPA and Police Scotland) Policing in a Digital World Professional Reference Group with the inaugural meeting taking place on 22 September 2002. This is chaired by DCC Malcolm Graham and SPA Board Member Caroline Stuart, with representation from the National Cyber Resilience Advisory Board, Scottish Business Resilience Centre, Academia and the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The positive discussions from the initial meeting helped set the agenda, inform the terms of reference and membership, helping to shape the direction of the group. The next meeting of the Group is to take place early in the New Year (2023).
