Recorded as Incident Only by the Police (No Evidence of a Crime)

Police Scotland Management Information states: “Members of the public contact the police for a variety of reasons which generally result in an incident being created on the command and control incident management system. Where that incident infers a crime has been committed the police are required to raise a crime report, unless criminality can be disproved. Many other incidents are created, such as assisting the public or responding to requests for prevention activities, which do not result in a crime report being raised and which are managed solely on the incident management system.”
