This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor George Redmond:- "Council notes: that April 2023 marked 10 years since the establishment of Police Scotland; notes Police Scotland's successes including a number of high-profile, high-risk events such as COP26 and its work throughout the Covid pandemic; and pays tribute to the dedication and tenacity of our Police Officers in tackling crime. However, Council regrets: that Scotland now has the lowest number of police officers since 2008, that Officers in Scotland are the only officers in the UK not routinely equipped with body cameras; that figures, published in January, demonstrated a quarter of 101 calls were abandoned; and expresses its deep disappointment that the family of Sheku Bayoh are still without justice 8 years later. Council believes: that the Police is an important institution in our communities; that Police Scotland is not immune to the institutional challenges faced by other police forces in the world; and that the Police can function best when they are held to account by local communities and local people. Council therefore resolves to write to the Scottish Government to note Councillors' frustrations at the lack of local, operational accountability of policing services due to these services being delivered at a national level; reiterates its belief that policing is a local service; reiterates its belief that local services should be subject to local, democratic accountability; and, therefore, calls on them to review the local accountability of policing as part of the New Deal for Local Government.".
