Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament recognises the key role played by civilian staff in Scotland’s police forces in helping to protect communities; recognises and values the dedication and hard work of police staff and police officers in Scotland, which have resulted in a 35-year low in recorded crime; agrees that reform is essential to protect policing from UK Government budget cuts and that police reform will protect local services, create more equal access to specialist support and national services and strengthen the connection between services and communities while removing costly duplication; notes the strong progress being made to deliver a single police service of Scotland; recognises that civilian support staff will continue to play an important role in the new police service of Scotland, and supports the Scottish Government’s commitment to continue to work closely with staff associations and unions to ensure a smooth transition to the new police service of Scotland.
