Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland is the collective organisation of Chief Constables, Deputy Chief Constables and Assistant Chief Constables from the eight Police forces in Scotland.
Formally a staff association, ACPOS has evolved to the strategic body which oversees and co-ordinates all aspects of the direction and development of the Scottish Police Service as a whole. Senior support staff and superintending ranks are also involved in its business. Developments are overseen by the Council of Chief Constables beneath which are eight standing committees focusing on a particular aspect of the service namely:
- Crime
- Finance
- General Policing
- Road Policing
- Information Management
- Personnel & Training
- Professional Standards
- Race & Community Relations
