截至2025年9月,苏格兰警察报告了10 064份尚未执行的逮捕令,其中包括7份谋杀逮捕令、5份谋杀未遂逮捕令和40份强奸逮捕令,其中许多与殴打、毒品犯罪和家庭虐待等严重罪行有关。
As of September 2025, Police Scotland reported 10,064 outstanding arrest warrants, including seven for murder, five for attempted murder, and 40 for rape, with many linked to serious crimes like assault, drug offenses, and domestic abuse.
积压的同时,警察人员也有所减少,从2020年的17 400多名专职同等人员减至16 427名。
The backlog coincides with a decline in police staffing, down to 16,427 full-time equivalent officers from over 17,400 in 2020.

Scottish Labour attributed the issue to underfunding and a shrinking force, urging immediate action to restore police strength and public safety.
苏格兰警察说,逮捕令按威胁程度排列优先次序,而苏格兰政府则强调创纪录的16.4亿英镑投资,并注意到苏格兰警察与人口比率较高,自1991年以来犯罪率不断下降。
Police Scotland said warrants are prioritized by threat level, while the Scottish Government highlighted a record £1.64 billion investment and noted Scotland’s higher police-to-population ratio and declining crime rates since 1991.
