The aim of this joint inspection with HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland is to inspect the arrangements in police forces and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) for implementing the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 in Scotland. The Lord Advocate has consented to this inspection including the review of the Civil Recovery Unit for which she has been delegated responsibility as a Scottish Minister as opposed to her independent role as head of the prosecution service.
