We support the police in its mission to make individuals and communities safer and to make an effective contribution to help shape policing in the future.

We deliver police education based on our police experience, the latest evidence from academic research and evaluation of what works.

We have an International focus - Promoting community-led policing and committed to Human Rights, Ethical practice and Diversity.

What we do

We work in formal and informal partnerships to design and deliver programmes and products that are relevant to the local policing context and the needs of officers. Using our experience, our research and our network of contacts we are able to respond to nearly all operational, strategic and tactical requests for support and can usually deploy quickly. We believe in local partnerships with the police and community working closely together to enhance safety and address criminality. At the heart of this is a drive for excellent policing skills serving the public and responding to crime.

Partners

We currently have several partnerships with police education providers which is the first stage in us working abroad. These take a long time to develop and require commitment and engagement. The end result is a deeper understanding of cultures and contexts and we believe better outcomes.

Courses

Below are some of the courses we provide directly to individuals or through arrangements with police forces and police educators:

Teaching Approach

We use a range of teaching styles in our programmes underpinned by a rigorous approach to design and development. The approach is to understand the performance and training needs of the client, consider the knowledge, skills and behaviours required and develop a student/delegate focussed event. We bring a lot of experience and believe this is truly relevant when used within an understanding of the local policing context and expectations. Being student focused means we ask our delegates to bring their own experiences and needs to the classroom and then use these as the context for teaching. To help with this we use:

Role play and interactive exercises.
New technologies such as Virtual Reality to create safe spaces.
Simulations and discussions where delegates work together on solutions, facilitated and reviewed by the team.
Visits to locations to meet operational officers in their own environment.

Where possible we look for improvement in workplace performance using the Kirkpatrick Scale to design tests and evaluations.
