The branding, which carries both Police Scotland and Poileas Alba, will be introduced on the service’s website and intranet. It will also be carried on signage, stationery and vehicles, and will be introduced on these items as they are replaced on reaching the end of their serviceable life.
The changes are being made as part of the force’s commitment to implementing its Gaelic Language Plan, which sets out the service’s pledge to creating a sustainable future for the language in Scotland by integrating it within Police Scotland’s services and corporate identity.
Assistant Chief Constable Andrew Cowie said: “This is the latest step being taken by Police Scotland as we move towards full implementation of our Gaelic Language Plan.
“We are keen that Gaelic speaking communities across the country are well served
and ably represented by the national service.”
“Upholding tradition and supporting
native languages is important, as is making the service as accessible as possible
for members of the population who use Gaelic.
“More work will take place in the coming months and years to deliver the improvements contained within our Gaelic Language Plan.”
“We have a keen group of Gaelic speaking officers/staff who are ably assisting in progressing these improvements.”
