The Committee
resolved:

to note the report;
(ii)          
to agree that Police Scotland police by consensus
and it is pleasing to see that the vast majority of citizens in the

against society regarding knife crime, noting the increase in
possession of offensive weapons in Schools used in criminal
activities;
(iv)        
to instruct the Chief Officer – Education and
Lifelong Learning to bring a report to Education and
Children’s Services Committee as soon as possible outlining
an analysis of both Council and Police Scotland data with regard to
use of offensive weapons in schools and what actions our schools
are taking to reduce incidents involving weapons;
(v)         
to note that the Divisional Commander would ensure
that all Community Council’s had a point of contact within
Police Scotland;
(vi)        
to note that Police Scotland would investigate the
possibility of providing more raw data statistics in future
performance reports rather than a percentage which would make the
information more digestible;
(vii)       
to note that Police Scotland would ascertain whether
there was the potential for there to be an increase in the amount
of road policing officers and to report back in due course;
and
(viii)     
to request that Police Scotland produce a short
thematic report on the police station hubs in Aberdeen, which would
provide details on the new model for police stations in the
city.
