Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 23 March 2023
Date : 23 March 2023
Location : COSLA, Edinburgh
Independent Advisory Group on New and Emerging Technologies
The final report of the Independent advisory group on new and emerging technologies in policing was published on 22 February 2023. The Authority welcomes publication of the report which supports our own commitment to the proportionate and evidenced use of technology to help policing fight crime and protect the public.
The report recognises that there has been a great deal of progress to establish robust decision making and oversight processes, and in 2021 Police Scotland and the Authority published a Joint Memorandum of Understanding which takes steps to enhance transparent discussion, engagement and communication and
informed decision making.
The report and its recommendations will be considered by the Policing Performance Committee (PPC) in June 2023. The PPC will continue to monitor implementation of the recommendations by Police Scotland and Authority where appropriate.
