Police Scotland

Police Scotland is the national police service for Scotland, responsible for maintaining law and order across the country. It was established in 2013, bringing together police forces from across Scotland into a single organization. Police Scotland handles various duties, including preventing crime, investigating offenses, ensuring public safety, and supporting communities. It operates under a centralized command structure but works closely with local communities and partners to address local issues. The goal is to provide a consistent, efficient police service that protects rights, enforces laws, and promotes safety throughout Scotland.
