Implications
REPUTATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
The use of the stop and search tactic undoubtedly requires robust governance and scrutiny, without which the reputation of Police Scotland could be questioned. The governance, scrutiny and the transparency with which data is published provides confidence that our processes are both necessary and effective.
EQUALITIES IMPLICATIONS
Police Scotland recognises the sensitivity around the use of the stop and search tactic and closely monitors proportionality amongst age, gender and ethnicity through robust governance measures.
