The Role of Europol in International Interdisciplinary European Cooperation
Europol’s mission is to support the EU Member States and Europol’s partners in their fight against terrorism, cybercrime and other serious and organised forms of crime. To accomplish this goal it is crucial to collaborate with many non-EU partner states, international organisations, academia and private entities. This article illustrates Europol’s cooperation with academia and other non-law enforcement partners and the benefits of this cooperation for Europol in its efforts to work more effectively and make innovation a key part of the agency’s business model. First, the introduction presents an overview of Europol’s activities and services. Following this, Europol cooperation with academia, interdisciplinary entities and the private sector is assessed. Finally, challenges are evaluated before the conclusion.

Job Stress and Work-Family Conflict as Correlates of Job Satisfaction Among Police Officials
High levels of stress and numerous stressful situations are imposed by police work. This can affect not just the psychological and physiological health of police officials but also their interpersonal relationships and work-life balance. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between job stress, work-family conflict, and job satisfaction among police officials. One hundred police officials working in the state of Goa Police Department were assessed. Data was collected using the job stress scale (Parker and DeCotiis Organ Behav Hum Perform 32(2):160–177, 1983), the work-family conflict scale (Kopelman et al. Organ Behav Hum Perform 32:198–215, 1983), and the job satisfaction scale (Singh and Sharma 1986). Karl Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data.

Police Chiefs’ Opinions on the Utility of a College Education for Police Officers
This paper explores police chiefs’ opinions about the utility of a college education for police officers. Arguments for and against requiring a college degree for local police officers have been discussed in the literature for years, but mostly involve measures of officers’ performance and opinions. The data used in this study come from survey responses of a sample of 98 police chiefs in western and central parts of a mid-Atlantic state. The association of variables, such as number of officers in the department, the extent to which the department gives hiring preferences to those with more education, the department’s involvement in community policing strategies, and the chief’s level of education with the chief’s opinion about the favorability of college education for police officers is explored using regression analyses. In addition, an interaction effect between a police chief’s level of education and his or her department’s involvement in community policing on the level of a police chief’s agreement with statements favorable to having college-educated officers is tested. Policy implications are discussed, with an emphasis on how police chiefs play a role in shaping educational standards for police officers.

Gun victimization in the line of duty: Fatal and nonfatal firearm assaults on police officers in the United States, 2014–2019
Using open‐source data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), we analyze national‐ and state‐level trends in fatal and nonfatal firearm assaults of U.S. police officers from 2014 to 2019 (N = 1,467). Results show that (a) most firearm assaults are nonfatal, (b) there is no compelling evidence that the national rate of firearm assault on police has substantially increased during the last 6 years, and (c) there is substantial state‐level variation in rates of firearm assault on police officers. GVA has decided strengths relative to existing data sources on police victimization and danger in policing. We consider the promises and pitfalls of this and other open‐source data sets in policing research and recommend that recent state‐level improvements in use‐of‐force data collection be replicated and expanded to include data on violence against police.

I admit it, I got Cressida Dick wrong
What are we thinking about Dame Cressida Dick, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner whose officers have lately 'taken a knee' at unlawful protests, failed to prevent the defacing of cherished national monuments, been injured in their scores and chased out of London housing estates? Weak, woke and woeful, right? That was certainly my view. Indeed, I was one of many calling for her to be replaced by a more robust police leader. Until, that is, I found myself reading the full transcript of her appearance before the Commons home affairs select committee earlier this month.

Grounds for an arrest and a search warrant involve different considerations
CANADA: Just because a search warrant has been denied, the police need not change what they suspect or believe to be true, Ontario’s top court has declared. In R. v. Buchanan, 2020 ONCA 245, police received information from a confidential informer that a person was trafficking heroin and fentanyl from a specific residential address. There were also several citizen complaints about vehicle and pedestrian traffic at the residence.
