International Advisory Board (IAB)
Policing Insight’s International Advisory Board (IAB) was established in April 2020, to provide advice to Policing Insight’s Publisher, Bernard Rix, and the wider Policing Insight team, on the development of Policing Insight’s global profile and content. The IAB will help facilitate Policing Insight’s mission to be the leading information destination for the sharing of global policing knowledge, practice and policy – a platform for government, policing and criminal justice professionals, academia, third sector and industry to promote and share the latest in progressive policing. The work of the IAB will bring great benefits to our growing global readership and the wider police and criminal justice community.
At any one time, the Board will have up to twelve members, drawn from across policing, academia and the supplier community, and representing as diverse a global policing community as possible.
