The Committee resolved to endorse the report.

The Committee had before it the Thematic Report from Police Scotland on Serious and Organised Crime.

The Committee heard from Chief Superintendent Thomson who presented an overview of the report which identified what was happening locally albeit a National Strategy existed. The successful implementation of tactics and operations had provided positive support to communities and victims of crime, including vulnerable people.

Chief Superintendent Thomson again emphasised that these successes were attributable to partnership working involving the police, local authority, voluntary sector and critically the local community. This included wider partnership working within schools and the localities.

The Committee resolved to endorse the report.
