Unlike many other conferences that have lengthy, dry talks that delegates then struggle to remember anything from, our Rapid-Fire conferences stream short, sharp, practical training sessions to a global live audience of law enforcement practitioners.
Here’s the line-up:
Dr Patrick Tidmarsh, Melbourne University, Australia, creator of the ‘Whole Story’ approach to investigating sexual offences
· How to interview victims and suspects in sexual assault cases
Professor Becky Milne, University of Portsmouth, UK, expert on the cognitive interview
· How to interview witnesses
Professor Laurence Alison MBE, University of Liverpool, UK, creator of a unique way of interviewing high-value detainees based on addiction therapy
· How to establish rapport with suspects in interviews
Professor Ray Bull, Derby University, UK, co-creator of the PEACE model of interviewing and co-author of recent UN guidance on effective interviewing
· How to improve investigative interviewing

What is Police Science Dr?
Police Science Dr is an online space where academic findings and best practice in police work are made pleasantly consumable by cops and police staff; they don’t usually have access to academic journals, and if they did, they wouldn’t have the time to read dry, lengthy articles that often debate theories and methodologies. Research that is actually relevant to those in law enforcement, in a practical way, can be watched on the Police Science Dr website in the form of videos, listened to in the form of a podcast, and read in the form of the videos’ transcripts. The transcripts can only be viewed by individuals who join the free email list, which gives them access to the website’s ‘Read’ page.

Another perk for subscribers are the weekly Police Science Snippets that are emailed out, which extract 3 golden nuggets of information from scientific research articles, with the link to the original papers. These Snippets have been extremely popular, as the single criterion for their inclusion in the weekly mail-out is that the Snippet on its own provide information that somebody working for the police can act on, take into account for their own work, or start implementing right away. They cover a range of topics, such as homicide investigations, geographic profiling, crime analysis, interviewing of suspects or witnesses, response policing, sex-offending, and many other areas relevant to law enforcement.
