The Police Foundation 5/12/2024 Report Quebec appeals ban on random police traffic stops to Supreme Court CANADA: Initial ruling said stops lead to racial profiling, Quebec says ban makes policing difficult CBC News (Canada) 5/12/2024 News Student officer research projects: Evidence-based knowledge embedded into policing practice? Modern policing is faced with a rapidly changing landscape which continues to present new challenges and opportunities to policing (NPCC, 2015). With limited resources, it is hoped policing education will support police services to deal with these challenges through embedding evidence-based practices (Mitchell and Lewis, 2017). The large number of new recruits from the police uplift provides an exciting opportunity to incorporate these practices into operational policing (Lum and Koper, 2017; Pepper et al., 2020). The purpose of this study was to investigate evidence-based research projects produced by student police officers and explore whether they provide knowledge that is relevant and embedded into policing practice. Using qualitative methods data was gathered from key informants and graduates from the University of South Wales' five established police partners in England and Wales. The findings identified that knowledge from the projects was being disseminated within the police organisations, and that student police officers were informally applying evidence-based knowledge they had gained from their research projects in their day-to-day operational policing roles, and some were transferring this knowledge as tutors and supervisors. This study concluded that research projects produced by student officers can have a direct impact and contribution to policing practice and policy. However, to capitalise on this opportunity police services would benefit from developing formalised processes to embed this knowledge into practice. The Police Journal: Theory Practice and Principles - Subscription at source 5/12/2024 Research article Personal theories of police officers about authority Police authority supposedly guides the actions of police officers. This article reconstructs personal theories on the authority of police by means of qualitative interviews with German police officers and police candidates. These personal theories are divided into four self-schemata composed of: dealing effectively and preferably with possible problems occurring with police work; different normative orders that define the relationship between the police and civil society; a reference to desirable personality traits for police officers; and symbolic representations of police authority. Such self-schemata influence police interactions with citizens and disclose a diversity of police ideas about authority. The different self-schemata of authority seem to originate from different backgrounds such as practical experience of policing, formal education in police colleges, compliance with commonly accepted societal norms like fairness, non-violence, respect and personal convictions. It is discussed how these self-schemata can be constructively reflected in formal police education in Germany. This article contributes to a nuanced understanding of police authority and how this might be integrated into training. Further research should investigate how these schemata can be integrated into a dynamic model and carry out a comparative, intercultural analysis of these personal theories.
