Answer
We are currently indiscussions with Crimestoppers Scotland about funding for next financial year.
The CrimestoppersScotland call centre is managed by the Scottish Police Services Authority (SPSA)and the costs of employing staff and providing accommodation are met from the SPSA’sGrant-In-Aid provided by the Scottish Government. The cost and management of thecall centre is therefore an operational matter for the SPSA.
