BBC 15/4/2021 News Misunderstandings, Mischaracterizations, and Malicious Accusations: A Reply to Walby’s (2021) Swat Everywhere? To develop a more informed understanding of why tactical officers are used in Canada, we interviewed patrol and tactical officers from three Canadian police services (Jenkins et al., 2020). Interviewees indicated that tactical officers tend to be used on calls that go beyond the capabilities of patrol officers, including high-risk calls and calls unfolding in special environments, and that their use results in reduced threat to police and public safety. In response, Walby (2021) has argued that evidence-based policing (EBP) research of the sort we conducted is inherently biased. He also criticized our understanding of existing literature, took aim at our research methodology and conclusions, and questioned our academic integrity by claiming that we were paid by the participating police services to conduct the research. While Walby makes some valid criticisms of our research, his response is riddled with misunderstandings, mischaracterizations, and malicious (unfounded) accusations. After setting the record straight with respect to allegations regarding our nefarious motives to conduct the research, we argue that Walby completely misrepresents EBP research when he argues that it aims to support harmful police practices in exchange for financial support. We then correct numerous instances where Walby either mischaracterizes existing research or misrepresents our views (and those of our interviewees) when it comes to the use of tactical officers. We conclude by calling for more inclusive conversations to take place to address the issue of police militarization. These conversations must include community members, but they must also include the police Police Journal - Registration at source 15/4/2021 Research article Re-Thinking Governance and Accountability of Police and Policing: David Bayley’s Contributions to the Debates As a political scientist, David Bayley brought a very particular perspective to debates about police governance and accountability that have recently flared up again in the United States of America following the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter and “Defund the Police” campaigns that it energised. Throughout his 65-year career as the world’s leading international comparative policing scholar, Bayley wrote and spoke publicly about police governance and accountability in his native U.S.A. and many other countries around the world, as well as how it pertained to international post-conflict peace-keeping operations. In this article, I consider the proposals for reform of police governance and accountability that have been advanced following George Floyd’s death, in light of Bayley’s lifelong thoughts and proposals on this topic, culminating with his last book (which I was privileged to have co-authored with him), Governing the Police: Experience in Six Democracies International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justice 15/4/2021 Research article «284428452846284728482849285028512852Next ›Last » Upcoming events View all events
