Inverness police control room closes

Police Scotland has confirmed the closure of their Inverness control room this week.

According to Police Scotland, the “remodelling programme”, which was due to be completed today, Tuesday, aims to deliver a consistent national command and control system across the country.

It will see the services previously provided in Inverness move to the North Area Control Room in Dundee, with call handling transferred to the Police Scotland Service Centre (PSSC) based in Bilston Glen, Motherwell and Govan.

The Scottish Police Authority gave the plans the go-ahead in September last year.
