The policing principles are—
(a)that the main purpose of policing is to improve the safety and well-being of persons, localities and communities in Scotland, and
(b)that the Police Service, working in collaboration with others where appropriate, should seek to achieve that main purpose by policing in a way which—
(i)is accessible to, and engaged with, local communities, and
(ii)promotes measures to prevent crime, harm and disorder.
