ACPOSDRUG STRATEGYCOLOUR CODING

FOREWORD

This updated ACPOS Drug Strategy builds on the work developed inthe first ACPOS Drug Strategy 2003. The Scottish Executive hasembarked upon the most radical reform of the Criminal JusticeSystem for more than a generation, a reform that included a proposalto expand the Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency, (now known as theScottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA)), andestablish a new Crime enforcement campus. In addition, the SeriousOrganised Crime and Police Act 2005, and the Drugs Act 2005,represent a significant development in the police approach totargeting illicit drugs within Scotland.

The Scottish Police Service remains fully committed to tackling drugmisuse and the consequential harms caused to Scottish communities.The Service vigorously pursues those involved in drug trafficking anddealing, increasingly making use of the investigatory powers affordedby the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, designed to hit traffickers anddealers where it hurts most ‘in the pocket’.

We cannot underestimate the impact that illicit drugs have on societyand their effect either directly or indirectly upon Scottishcommunities. The four Pillars of Young People, Communities,Treatment and Availability are as relevant today as they were whenthey were first articulated in the National Strategy. Working within theframework of the Scottish Executive’s Drugs Action Plan and CriminalJustice Plan, the Scottish Police Service will provide a co-ordinatedresponse to drug misuse within Scotland’s communities. An integralpart of this response is monitoring emerging threats from elsewhere,and working with partners to prevent these taking hold here.

The Service recognises that enforcement is not the only weapon inour armoury, it is only one response amongst a host of others thathave developed as our understanding of drug misuse has increased.Long-term success requires the commitment of both the ScottishPolice Service and our partners in treatment, health and educationworking in a co-ordinated way to promote and develop thepreventative message, which will reduce the demand for illicit drugsand thereby reduce the harms caused to Scotland’s communities. Inparticular, reducing the harm caused to children by parental substancemisuse is a priority for this strategy, which is consistent with theScottish Executive’s response to the Hidden Harm Report from theAdvisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.

This strategy provides a framework, which outlines our strategic,operational and tactical responses to drugs issues. It also outlines themethods by which we send a clear message to our partner agenciesthat the Scottish Police Service is committed to them and, to thosewho continue to deal in drugs, that we will do all in our power toensure they are brought to justice.

Mr Ian J Latimer QPM MAPresident of ACPOSChief Constable of Northern Constabulary

The foundations of the ACPOS DrugStrategy were laid in 1999, with thepublication of Scotland’s Drug Strategy‘Tackling Drugs in Scotland: Action InPartnership’. In taking this forward in2000, the Scottish Executive (SE)launched its Drugs Action Plan‘Protecting Our Future’. The PoliceService in Scotland is a key player in thispartnership and has an important role inachieving the Strategy’s objectives underfour pillars of Young People,Communities, Treatment, and Availability.

The Scottish Crime and DrugEnforcement Agency (SCDEA) is a keycontributor within the Scottish PoliceService in tackling drugs trafficking anddrug related criminality at a national andindeed international level. The SCDEAincorporates the multi-agency ScottishMoney Laundering Unit (SMLU), whichtargets the financial assets of drugs dealersusing powers of investigation conferredby the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Alleight Scottish Police forces continue totarget those who supply controlled drugsin their force areas. Each force has officersinvolved in drug awareness and ForceDrugs Co-ordinators who are crucial inthe promotion of other aspects of drugpolicy such as harm reduction,prevention, and education.

The National Intelligence Model (NIM),combined with the Scottish IntelligenceDatabase (SID), provide the principalintelligence management tools used bythe Scottish Police Service. The NIMdrives law enforcement activity at thestrategic, tactical and operational levelsand provides a tasking and co-ordinationcapability, which prioritises resources.The database (SID) allows all Scottishforces to share intelligence data.

National targets for Scottish forces wereestablished by ACPOS in ‘PolicingPriorities for Scotland 2003 – 2006’.Against a background of record seizuresof illegal drugs, the eight police forces inScotland working with and supported bythe SCDEA continue their establishedtrack record of joint working with otheragencies at both local and national levels.The establishment of the SeriousOrganised Crime Agency (SOCA) in April2006, will further develop and enhancenational partnerships to tackle the rangeof issues associated with illicit drugmisuse.

Drugs Courts and Drug Treatment andTesting Orders (DTTOs), continue toensure that drug misusers are directedtowards treatment to assist them withtheir addiction problems. The Scottish

Police Service fully supports harmreduction measures such as ArrestReferral and Needle Exchange Schemesand recognises the importance ofeducation, intervention and prevention.Drugs Courts and DTTOs demonstratethat these measures can work and aresuccessful in assisting those who misusedrugs. We will continue to work with theScottish Association of Alcohol and DrugAction Teams (SAADATs) and otherpartners in support of harm reductionmeasures.

Published in December 2004,‘Supporting Safer, Stronger Communities:Scotland’s Criminal Justice Plan’, sets outthe Scottish Executive’s reform of thecriminal justice system. ACPOS fullysupports the proposals contained withinthe Plan and acknowledges the importantcontribution the plan can make in tacklingdrugs in our communities.

The main objectives of the ACPOS Drug Strategy are toREDUCE:

10

In relation to illicit drugs, the primary roleof the Police Service in Scotland is toreduce the availability of controlled drugsin Scotland’s communities.

The NIM is the process that informs anddrives drug enforcement activity in allsectors of the service. National strategicdirection in respect of drug trafficking andother forms of serious organised crime isprovided by the Scottish Strategic Taskingand Co-ordination Group (SSTCG) thatis comprised of representatives fromACPOS, SCDEA, the Serious OrganisedCrime Agency (SOCA), Her Majesty’sRevenue and Customs (HMRC), andBritish Transport Police (BTP). Tacticaldirection is provided by the ScottishTactical Tasking and Co-ordinating Group(STTCG). It consists of seniorrepresentatives from all eight ScottishPolice Forces and the organisationspreviously mentioned. Together, thesetwo groups provide strategic and tacticaldirection for the police service in theenforcement arena and nationaloperational priorities flow from them.Similar strategic and tactical arrangementsare in place in every force in Scotland.These set force and local operationalpriorities. The NIM caters for intelligence

provision and dissemination and the

prioritisation of tasks and resources in a

professional manner.

This focus on the intelligence product is

supported by the computerised Scottish

Intelligence Database (SID), which

permits tiered access to all criminal

intelligence submitted by police officers

across the country. Since its introduction

in 2003, SID has greatly improved the

flow of and accessibility to criminal

intelligence throughout Scotland.

It is clear from the NIM Tasking and Co-

ordination process that the Scottish Police

Service does not work in isolation in

reducing supply. ACPOS and the SCDEA

work closely with law enforcement

partners such as SOCA, HMRC, and BTP.

This effort is augmented by the SMLU

situated within the Intelligence Group of

the SCDEA. Its aim is to maximise the

confiscation of assets associated with drug

dealing and other serious organised

criminality and in that regard to exploit

fully the opportunities afforded by the

Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 to identify

and report realisable assets to the Crown

Office for restraint.

The focus of enforcement activity is ondrug dealers and traffickers who impactadversely on the well-being of Scotland’scommunities. Heroin and cocaine, bothClass A controlled drugs, cause thegreatest harm to individuals andcommunities and resources are targetedat those criminals and organised crimegroups that deal in these drugs. Cannabiswas reclassified from Class B to Class C in2003 and while the focus has remainedon Class A drugs, it is acknowledged thatcriminals at all levels traffic in, and profitfrom, multi-commodity consignmentsincluding cannabis and will continue to doso. The SCDEA and SOCA targetcriminals who transcend international,national and local boundaries. ForceDrugs Squads target those whoperpetrate drug trafficking across andwithin Force boundaries supported bylocal force crime management units thattarget and pursue local dealers. To beeffective, it must be a seamless andconcerted effort to ensure a flexible,focused and dynamic enforcementresponse.

It is estimated that there are 51,582individuals misusing opiates orbenzodiazepines within Scotland1. The2004 Scottish Crime and VictimisationSurvey reports that 24% of respondentsreported having taken illicit drugs at leastonce during their lives, 8% reportedusing illicit drugs in the last year and 4%reported using an illicit drug in the pastmonth.

The misuse of illicit drugs can result in amix of complex problems involvingcriminal behaviour, damage to the healthof the user and harm caused eitherdirectly or indirectly to Scottishcommunities. As illicit drug use spreadsthroughout a community the associatedproblems cannot be addressed by theScottish Police Service alone. Bypartnership working we can combineresources to ensure that eachorganisation applies its own specialist skillsand abilities in a way that deals mosteffectively with the problems drug misusepresents.

Timely interventions can help drug usersdevelop pathways to treatment andsupport and allow them to use arrest as a

stepping stone to a more productive life.ACPOS will support and promote thedevelopment of appropriateinterventions that represent successfuland efficient disposals for those offenderswith substance misuse issues. In providingdrug misusers with access to appropriatetreatment services, it is anticipated thatthey will reduce their level of substancemisuse, improve their health and lifestyle,and increase their opportunities. Theoverall benefit of increased stability will beexperienced by the families of drugmisusers and by the communities inwhich they live, through reduced criminalactivity. The Police Service in Scotland canplay an active role by working withpartner agencies to encourage andsupport schemes such as Arrest Referral,Drug Treatment and Testing Orders,Drug Courts and other interventionssuch as diversion from prosecution,youth diversion and the provision ofappropriate information and treatment.The introduction of mandatory drugtesting of those arrested for specifiedoffences2 will ensure that the ScottishPolice Service continues to play animportant role as a gateway through

which offenders can access appropriatetreatment.

Drug education within schools is anessential element of planned, progressiveprogrammes for personal and socialdevelopment aimed at ensuring youngpeople are fully engaged in the importantdecision making processes encounteredduring their formative years. The recentintroduction of the Scottish Police Collegedrug education course, which providesnational training for officers involved inthe delivery of drug education, ensuresthe establishment of national standardsand a commonality of approach to policedrug education in Scotland. Whencombined with nationally recognisededucational resources, such as the ‘GetReal’ DVD and the national ‘Choices forLife’ Programme3, the Scottish PoliceService and their partners in health andeducation, will ensure that all youngpeople are provided with high qualitydrug education, which will equip themwith the knowledge to make informeddecisions about how they choose to livetheir lives.

The Police (Scotland) Act, 1967, detailsthe general functions of constables andprescribes that the police are to “guard,watch and patrol” with the object ofpreventing the commission of offences,preserving order and protecting life andproperty. Enforcement is clearly theresponsibility of the Police, but the ethosof crime reduction and the protection oflife is also uppermost in the work of thePolice Service. The early identification ofemerging threats is vital in safeguardingour communities and informing effectiveinterventions.

The ulimate harm is drug related death,and each of these represents a tragicwaste of life and causes untold grief to thefamilies affected. As well as investigatingeach of these deaths, the Scottish PoliceService will continue to collate andexamine Scottish drug deaths in order tounderstand the underlying issues.Working with health and treatmentpartners, ACPOS will fully supportmeasures designed to reduce the harmthat drug misuse causes: harm whichclearly impacts upon drug misusersthemselves, their families and Scotland’scommunities. ACPOS will also play itspart in shaping the national drug policyagenda, through membership of variousgroups such as the Scottish Advisory

Committee on Drug Misuse (SACDM)and the National Forum on Drug RelatedDeaths.

Injecting Drug Users (IDUs) runimmense risk of contracting blood-borneviruses including HIV, Hepatitis B Virus(HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) withthe incidence of the latter a cause forconcern. The total number of IDUsknown to be infected with the HCV virusis 12,296.4 The threat to communitiesand individuals from the spread of blood-borne viruses presents a serious healthissue for offenders, the Police Service,criminal justice workers, care and supportgroups and the general public.

Police officers and support staffthroughout Scotland come into regularcontact with tens of thousands ofprisoners every year, many of whom areinjecting drug users. ACPOS will continueto focus on opportunities to reduce harmto prisoners and Police personnel. Thiscan be accomplished by referral to healthauthorities, treatment and harmreduction services and by communicatingclearly to users the risks involved and thepractical measures required to minimisethem. The introduction of needleexchange schemes in custody suitesdemonstrates the Police Service’s widerrole in harm reduction and public health

activity. In addition, the Scottish PoliceService continue to work with DATs andArea Child Protection Committees toensure that, with our partners, theprotection of children from the harmcaused by parental drug misuse is acentral element of this strategy.

ACPOS acknowledges the positiveopportunity afforded by the arrest of drugrelated offenders in reducing drug relatedharm. The introduction of mandatorydrug testing combined with voluntaryArrest Referral Schemes within Policestations, demonstrates the important rolepolice forces play in reducing drug harm.

SUMMARY

The Scottish Police Service has primaryresponsibility for drug enforcement in Scotland.The Service is committed to tackling drug dealersthrough intelligence led enforcement activity thussafeguarding Scotland’s communities from thosedrugs that cause most harm.

The NIM is a powerful intelligence tool, essentialin all aspects of law enforcement activity, not justin the drugs arena. It gives the Scottish PoliceService the ability to use intelligence to prioritiseaction against drug dealers, and make best use ofresources to effectively target local drugproblems.

The Scottish Police Service is committed to theScottish Executive’s National Drugs Strategycomprising the four pillars of Young People,Communities, Treatment and Availability, all ofwhich are inextricably linked. While the Service’score activities are inevitably enforcement led andunderpin the Availability pillar it has an importantrole in the success of the other three. Thecontinued developments in, for example, ArrestReferral Schemes, Needle Exchange Schemes,Drug Awareness Officers and Drug Courtsdemonstrate a commitment to all aspects of theNational Strategy.

It is vital that young people are given all the factsand education they need to make informeddecisions about the issues surrounding illicit drugs.Working with partners in health and education,the Scottish Police Service will continue to deliverhigh quality, standardised drug education inputs inour schools.

The Scottish Police Service has a duty toinvestigate the circumstances surrounding drugrelated death incidents, and will also continue to

collate drug death data, in order to better definethe underlying issues and inform interventions toreduce such incidents.

This document sets out the roles of all Police staffin the achievement of the ACPOS Drug Strategy,within the framework of the Scottish Executive’sNational Drug Strategy.

ACPOS will monitor this strategy and review itannually to ensure it is kept updated andinformed.
