Europol 21/2/2025 News Against the odds: career narratives of black male police chiefs The purpose of the present study was to explore the challenges and pathways to success for Black police chiefs, who remain under-represented in Law Enforcement. Two pilot interviews and four subsequent in-depth interviews were conducted with Black male police chiefs. Interview transcripts were analyzed through Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. The data revealed five themes describing barriers and challenges, but also substantial rewards of law enforcement work. The qualitative design of the present study builds on prior quantitative studies exploring reasons for choosing a police career. The findings invite future research in a broader geographic area, as the results may not generalize beyond the northeast U.S., or to other diverse groups. The results may provide a deeper understanding of the challenges of diversifying police agencies, and may assist agencies in better attracting and supporting the advancement of individuals from minority groups. Policing: An International Journal - Subscription at source 21/2/2025 Research article Perception or reality? Data protection legislation as an impediment to law enforcement information sharing, and ways to prevent it Information sharing is integral to tackling organised crime and terrorism. Academic studies and government inquiries both highlight the failings of law enforcement agencies in this endeavour, regularly citing data protection legislation as an impediment. To explore this issue a thematic analysis of UK law enforcement practitioner interviews (n = 41) together with a quantitative analysis of UK law enforcement data breaches (n = 28,654) was conducted. Results show practitioners identify legislation as a blockage to information sharing, however this is based on a lack of understanding, rather than the failings of the legislation itself. It was also discovered that data breaches generally occur through individual mistakes rather than malicious intent and are not punitively sanctioned by regulators. It suggests leaders at both law enforcement and government level could streamline policy and reduce bureaucracy through simplifying and co-ordinating the implementation processes involved.
