Police have identified "knowledge gaps" in Scotland's counter-terrorism strategy, according to a classified paper.
The private document, published in error on the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) website, provides an update on compliance with the UK counter-terrorism strategy known as Contest.
The force found "knowledge gaps" in some councils, which it expects will be replicated elsewhere, and it is now developing counter-terrorism training tools for people such as health workers, police and teachers.
Police Scotland has continued to keep armed officers off routine duties following an outcry about them attending minor incidents with visible firearms.
The SPA said this position reflects "the current threat level" but warned "this threat level is very unlikely to change for the better in the current environment".
Contest covers four themes: Pursue, the investigation and disruption of terrorist attacks; Prevent, to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism and extremism; Protect, improving protective security to stop a terrorist attack; and Prepare: working to minimise the impact of an attack and to recover from it as quickly as possible.
Police have also been urged to use an exercise called Operation Archer, a fictitious terrorist incident featuring mock TV new bulletins and arrests, which is designed to "demystify" the Contest strategy.
In an update to the SPA, Police Scotland said: "The rollout…has identified that there are knowledge gaps within local authorities which it is anticipated will be replicated with other partners."
An SPA spokeswoman said: "The original Police Scotland Improvement tracker incorporated detailed additional information requested by members of the committee in support of their consideration of this item and the public paper.
"The additional detailed information was protectively marked and was not for public consumption. It was uploaded on to the SPA website in error. It has since been removed and replaced with the public version."
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "The paper contained protectively marked information which was uploaded on to the SPA website in error and this was spotted and corrected after a media inquiry was received.
"The public should be confident that Police Scotland's priority is to ensure their safety and security; we want people to be alert but not alarmed."
