HMICS is part of a tripartite distribution of powers for accountability for the Scottish police service. The Scottish Government has powers to make regulations for the governance and administration of the police force and the promotion of efficiency. The Scottish Police Authority is responsible for setting the budget and ensuring that best value is attained for the public purse. The chief constable is responsible for operational policing.
The head of the service is HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary, held by Craig Naylor since March 2022.[1]
The HMICS is based at St Andrew's House in Edinburgh and had £1.2m of funding allocated by the Scottish Government in 2013–14.[2]
