The aim of this inspection, undertaken jointly by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS) and Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS), was to assess the treatment of, and conditions for, individuals detained in the police custody centres at Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy, which serve Fife.
This is the fourth joint custody inspection undertaken by the scrutiny bodies. The report provides an analysis of the quality of custody centre operations as well as the provision of healthcare services in the custody centres. It makes recommendations for both Police Scotland and the Health and Social Care Partnership responsible for the provision of healthcare at the centre.
The report outlines key findings identified during our inspection and makes recommendations that aim to improve custody services and the provision of healthcare in order to achieve better outcomes for people in police custody.
