Abstract: The purpose of the Act is to create a single police service and a single fire and rescue service. The Act sets out the governance arrangements and framework for the new services. In addition, it provides: a modern purpose for the police service and updated oath for constables; a statutory framework for the delivery of police and fire and rescue services and appropriate scrutiny and oversight arrangements; and arrangements for the transfer of existing officers and staff to both services. The Act abolishes the existing unitary police and fire authorities (Fife and Dumfries and Galloway) and the 6 joint police and joint fire boards by bringing together a number of local authorities (who are individual police and fire authorities under the enabling legislation) to form joint boards. The Act is in 3 parts. Part 1 deals with police, and has 17 Chapters and 100 sections. Part 2 deals with fire and rescue, and has 23 sections and Part 3 deals with general provisions with 7 sections. The Act also includes 8 Schedules setting out the detailed arrangements in relation to a number of areas covered by the Act.
