In its legacy paper, the Sub-Committee recommended scrutiny of the outcomes of Police Scotland's review of the types of carriage for both side arms and Tasers and the deployment of armed response vehicle officers when not deployed to firearms incidents. It also suggested that future quarterly statistics on the number of armed response vehicle officers in Scotland are monitored to ensure that levels remain appropriate.
