Our General Secretary, David Kennedy, gave evidence to the Scottish Parliament’s Justice Committee, setting out the Federation’s position on police officer numbers and the resources needed to deliver an effective policing service.

The message is clear: Scotland needs a sustained increase in officer numbers, backed by appropriate equipment, infrastructure, training and welfare support.

David Kennedy gave evidence to the Scottish Parliament’s Justice Committee, setting out the changes needed to support policing in Scotland.

The Federation is calling for full funding of unavoidable policing costs, a funded multi-year increase in officer numbers, greater transparency around frontline availability and sustained investment in officer wellbeing, equipment, technology and police infrastructure.

David Kennedy, General Secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, gave evidence to the Scottish Parliament’s Justice Committee, highlighting the importance of visible, locally accountable community policing.

He emphasised that officers cannot build relationships, address local concerns and strengthen public confidence if they are routinely diverted to cover shortages in response policing.

There's. No. Such. Thing. As. EXTRA. Police. Officers.

The @ukhomeoffice's advisers warned policing is increasingly reliant on officers’ goodwill and personal sacrifice, describing it as exploitative.

“Goodwill is either going or gone”, PFEW National Secretary John Partington also cautions Ministers.
