Gript (Republic of Ireland) 3/10/2024 News “If I changed roles in the future and they told me I had to go back in [police] uniform, I would quit. I never want to wear it ever again.”: Preliminary findings from the ‘When the Uniform Doesn’t Fit’ project In July 2023, Mrs R Kalam, a female inspector in a firearms unit, brought an employment tribunal against The Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, for direct and indirect sex discrimination, part of which was being provided with ill-fitting, not fit-for-purpose, men’s uniform. In January 2024, Mrs Kalam was awarded £820,000 in respect of pain, suffering and loss of quality of life, and future loss of earnings. This case highlights the precarious position that police forces may find themselves in if they do not proactively listen to their employee’s ‘trivial’ uniform issues, accommodate them accordingly both under strategic EDI priorities and legal obligations. This blog discusses the preliminary findings from focus groups and interviews with 84 women conducted between 2023 and 2024 in five police forces in England and Wales, focusing on the significant challenges of wearing an ill-fitting and not-for-purpose police uniform.

Since their inception they have internally developed more than 12 virtual reality simulations. This includes a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Virtual Reality (VR) Training Program. Delivered to both police officers and civilian employees the CPR VR replicates a realistic cardiac arrest incident. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this VR simulation. This is achieved by using a quantitative survey methodology to test the knowledge acquired from two groups who received CPR training using VR and a second who received it using traditional classroom tuition. Results are compared inferential statistics and identified no significant difference in test outcomes, indicating the VR simulation is safe. In addition, we surveyed both groups regarding their views and perspectives of the training environment and we used the presence scale for virtual reality to test the degree of immersion, environmental fidelity and for negative impacts. Correlational analysis identified a strong link between the immersive nature of VR, and levels of engagement and realism. Negative effects of discomfort and disorientation were strongly correlated with one another but were not linked to the level of immersion. The findings are discussed in the context of potentially using VR to supplement or replace existing police CPR training, and the wider considerations regarding developing VR within policing.
