Holyrood committee backs police complaints bill but questions impact

A report from the Criminal Justice Committee at the Scottish Parliament questioned the potential impact of the changes in practice

“This is a key issue for all those who are involved in the police complaints system, which remains largely unresolved. “It is unclear how those behaviours and practices were not identified and addressed by the SPA in its oversight role.“This does not provide us with the necessary reassurance that those who make complaints, or who are the subject of complaints, will not have the same experience today.”

She added: “However, we are unsure whether the provisions in the Bill will sufficiently improve the experience of officers and members of the public of the complaints system.”Justice Secretary Angela Constance said: “I welcome the Criminal Justice Committee’s backing for the general principles of the Bill, which will improve the police complaints and misconduct systems and strengthen public confidence in standards of police conduct.
