Issue - meetings

The Committee resolved:-

(i)            to request that an update presentation be provided to the Committee in regard to the progress on Digitally Enabled Policing, which would include details on the amount of police officers trained to use the device; and

(ii)          to otherwise thank Inspector Jon Millar for this presentation and to note the information provided. 

The Committee received a presentation from Inspector Jon Millar, Police Scotland regarding Digitally Enabled Policing.

The Committee heard an overview on the project journey, which indicated the time, cost and resources deployed to deliver approximately 10,000 devices to front line officers across Scotland. Inspector Millar advised that the intention was to provide officers with digital content without the need to return to offices to carry out such tasks. This would not diminish nor change the way in which local policing was delivered, but would make it more efficient.

The Committee were very impressed at this developing technology and looked forward to a progress update to a future meeting.
