Research

The Centre's research combines the skills and experience of academics and policing practitioners in a collaborative working model which epitomises an evidence-based practice approach.

Together, police partners and researchers jointly develop research projects based on a range of real-life, operational or organisational situations to generate findings which improve policing practice in the UK.

Centre research is grouped into four contemporary themes relevant to modern policing:

1. Investigation, community and vulnerability
2. Digitally enabled policing
3. Leadership, management and organisation
4. Health, wellbeing and resilience

Each of the above 4 themes overlap and cover the following specific areas; learning, knowledge exchange, evidence and practice.
