Mail Online 4/9/2023 News Global Collaboration of Evidence Based Policing produced with PolicingTV Evidence-Based Policing (EBP) is growing globally, ensuring that policing strategy, operations and tactics are based on what works, according to evidence and research. Rather than being guided by assumptions, tradition, convention, or subjective impressions, EBP combines the existing skills, knowledge and experience of police with research, crime science, problem-solving and testing. In October 2022 the Global Collaboration of Evidence Based Policing broadcast a fully live studio-quality 24- hour continuous conference out of two hubs – Christchurch, New Zealand and London, United Kingdom. The conference brought together world-leading criminologists from across the globe, academic thinkers, and police professionals from dozens of agencies, to look at the role that evidence, its legitimacy, and policing leadership have in everyday policing – shaping “exceptional” policing, the evidence-based way. Opened by Police Commissioners from Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, the conference delivered a range of insights on topics as diverse as single v double crewing, police legitimacy, biased policing, police leadership, use of force, police response and demand, and what do we mean by ‘the right amount of policing?’. The Global Collaboration of Evidence Based Policing has now teamed-up with Policing TV to bring the best of the conference material to a wider audience.
