Overview

The Strategic Police Priorities (SPP's) are set under the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012. The SPP's provide the top level framework for what is expected of our police service. This consultation proposes a revised set of priorities.

Why your views matter

The current priorities were set in 2013 in the context of the creation of a new national police force and police authority. The review of the Strategic Police Priorities provides an opportunity to discuss what we see as the key outcomes from the next phase of reform and ensure policing is truly reflective of the needs of communities across the country.

What happens next

Following the consultation our intention is to publish and lay at the Scottish Parliament a new set of Strategic Police Priorities.
