Local Police Plans 2023-2026

Overview

The Chief Constable is responsible for the delivery of policing in Scotland. Section 47 of the Police & Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 requires that the local police commander must prepare a ‘Local Police Plan’. 

Our Local Police Plans explain how we will deliver on priorities in your local area over the next three years. We are currently developing plans for 2023-26.

Developing these plans offers the opportunity to work together with our partners and communities to understand the priorities for your local areas and adjust or improve what we do to keep people safe.

These plans are shaped by a range of views, data and assessment, including public feedback. Local policing teams have been out and about across Scotland over several months. They have also reviewed feedback from our Your Police survey, as well as partner and stakeholder feedback.

This survey helps us test how we have translated what people told us into the priorities for your area - the things we will do as your local policing division to respond to threat, risk and harm and keep people safe.
