Category 6 Securing a Workforce for the Future: Mixed Economy Policing

This Project aims to address several of the major challenges which currently face the Scottish Police Service. It has been implemented with a view to demonstrating the concept of mixed economy policing (essentially a blend of police officers and specialist police staff working together in a front-line operational setting) with a view to:

- creating opportunities to significantly increase front-line policing capacity from existing resources;
- creating a more flexible workforce which achieves a much closer match of skills to specific tasks.
- creating a more efficient and cost-effective service; and
- improving the quality of service proved to victims of crime and witnesses

The Project creates entirely new police staff roles, new management procedures and new working practices within the Scottish Police Service, and focuses upon the investigation of volume crime and the delivery of high visibility, community-focused reassurance policing.
