Best Value in policing - Joint Best Value audit of policing in Scotland

This joint audit by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland and Audit Scotland assessed how effectively the Best Value arrangements in policing are demonstrating continuous improvement in delivering the current strategic outcomes, overall vision, and transformation of policing services. Our review examined areas including whether policing has a clear strategic direction, how effectively resources are used to deliver policing, and how well policing is performing. We found policing in Scotland is well managed and led, but more needs to be done to reform the service and make the best use of its resources. Our report outlines key findings and makes seven recommendations designed to support further improvement.
