Serious Organised Crime Taskforce: progress report 2023

This progress report details some of the advances made by the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce and its partners.


The Scottish Multi-Agency Strategic Threat Assessment

Partners located at The Scottish Crime Campus produce the Scottish Multi-Agency Strategic Threat Assessment (SMASTA), a report that presents a comprehensive picture of the scale and nature of SOC threats, identifies vulnerabilities, and sets strategic priorities to inform operational work and decision-making. Through case studies, the SMASTA highlights the success of the multi-agency approach in reducing the harm SOC causes to individuals and communities.

The SOC Taskforce uses the SMASTA to identify priority areas for action. A public facing version of the SMASTA was published by Police Scotland in October 2022.
