Update by Police Scotland

The group gave consideration to a briefing in relation to the online survey - “Your view counts”.  Grant Manders advised that the survey, which can be found at www.scotland.police.uk/yourviewcounts has been designed to allow communities to tell the Police what’s important to them, at a time that’s convenient to them, as its open all year round, around the clock.  He advised that this new process is about accessibility and flexibility and that Police Scotland are continuing to meet directly with different communities across the country throughout the year, to ensure that everyone can have their say, whether they can access a computer or not.

Decision: 

The group agreed to note the contents of the briefing.
