The SPPF was first launched across Scotland in April 2007. The SPPF is the product of significant collaborative working between the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland, the eight Scottish police forces, the Scottish Government, Her Majesty''s Inspectorate of Constabulary for Scotland, Audit Scotland, the Scottish Police Authorities Conveners'' Forum and the Scottish Police Services Authority.
When the SPPF was introduced in 2007-08, it was constrained by the limited amount of consistent data that was available across police forces and had only 23 indicators. Since then, the stakeholders listed above have worked together to develop a more comprehensive suite of indicators.
