Inverness Police Control Room

  • Submitted by: Rhoda Grant, Highlands and Islands, Scottish Labour
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 28 September 2017
  • Motion type: Standard Motion
  • Motion reference: S5M-07984

That the Parliament notes with concern the reported decision by the Scottish Police Authority to approve Police Scotland's proposal to close the Inverness police control room; understands that the function of command and control will be undertaken from a control room in Dundee; accepts that there will be no staff losses in Inverness but considers that valuable local knowledge will be lost; further considers this move to be another chapter in what it considers the Scottish Government's centralisation programme, and fears the diminution of service provision as a result of this decision.
