Motion, as amended, agreed to,
That the Parliament recognises the excellent work done by the officers and staff in Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) in keeping the people of Scotland safe with an unprecedented level of engagement with communities and local authorities, which is complemented by a process of engagement with staff; further recognises that crime is at a 39-year low and welcomes the 1,000 extra officers that the Scottish Government has delivered in communities since 2007; welcomes the lowest number of fires recorded in Scotland in the last 10 years; acknowledges the positive impacts of reform; recognises the value of national governance provided by the Scottish Police Authority and the SFRS Board; acknowledges that more locally elected members than ever are having their say on local policing matters as a result of local scrutiny arrangements, and agrees that significant progress has been made on the reform journey that began with the legislation that received the overwhelming support of the Parliament.
