Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 36(4) and (5) of the Police (Scotland) Act 1967 provides for one half of the expenses incurred by the Secretary of State in establishing and maintaining any central police training institution and in providing other common services to be recovered from police authorities and joint police committees. This Order revokes and re-enacts with amendments the Police (Common Police Services) (Scotland) Order 1989 which specified the services which fall within the classification of Common Police Services in Scotland.

Certain amendments reflect changes in administrative practice: reference is made to the administration of the Police (Scotland) Promotion Examination instead of to the Police (Scotland) Examination Board, and to the National Criminal Intelligence Service in place of the National Drugs Intelligence Unit and attendance at meetings of the International Criminal Police Organisation and other international police co-operation. Also, the previous reference to the National Forensic Science Laboratory for Scotland has been omitted as this Laboratory has not been established, and additions have been made to the range of Common Police Services, namely the National Identification Bureau, the Animal Rights National Index, Police Liaison Officers Abroad and Europol.
