Welcome to our new corporate plan for the next three years. This plan focuses on widening the impact and credibility of our reports, further strengthening confidence in our evidence base and advice, working with other scrutiny bodies to examine cross-cutting outcomes and driving improvement through targeted recommendations. We will continue to underpin this activity with improvements to internal governance and an increased focus on the wellbeing and development of our staff, whose mix of skills and experience are the cornerstone of our success.

Who we are
HMICS comprises 16 members of staff. HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary in Scotland (HMCIC) is:
- appointed by Royal Warrant;
- independent of government and policing bodies; and
- responsible for the strategic leadership of HMICS and accountable for its activities.
HMCIC is supported by an Assistant Inspector of Constabulary (AIC), who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of HMICS. The five HMICS lead inspectors are responsible for the planning, management and delivery of inspections and other scrutiny work, with input and support from the wider HMICS team.
HMICS also utilises a cadre of associate inspectors who come from a range of backgrounds. Their professional experience and skills supplements the core team, providing additional capacity to carry out scrutiny activities.
