This inspection, undertaken jointly by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS) and Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS), aimed to assess the treatment of, and conditions for, individuals detained in the police custody centre at Falkirk Police Station.
The report provides an analysis of the quality of custody centre operations and the provision of healthcare services.
It outlines key findings identified during our inspection and while it makes no new recommendations to Police Scotland concerning custody operations, it highlights previous recommendations made in recent inspections of other custody centres across Scotland where the same issues were once again found to be evident.
The report also makes six recommendations concerning healthcare provision.
