Policing Insight - Subscription at source 11/12/2025 Analysis, Feature, Interview Evidence-based policing: The missing volunteers Dr Iain Britton is joined by Professor Dr Ian Pepper, visiting professor at the University of Sunderland and a leading researcher on volunteers in policing. Ian explains how the UK’s new education routes for regular officers compare to the Special Constables’ Learning Programme, and why evidence-based / evidence-informed policing needs to reach volunteers as well as full-time officers. Drawing on a new international study with colleagues from the US and Canada, he shares what specials actually know about evidence-based policing, where they get that knowledge from, and why relying on “on-the-job osmosis” risks just recycling old culture. The discussion highlights how to offer more flexible learning, value volunteers’ contribution, and bring them properly into the evidence-based policing conversation.

In this paper, we extend analyses of the original study to identify whether improvements in PJ behavior in interactions with citizens were conditioned by race/ethnicity. Simply stated, do the improvements apply to all racial/ethnic groups, like a rising tide that lifts all boats, or do the benefits of the training program accrue inequitably across groups? Using systematic social observations of officer interactions with citizens, and mixed-effects regression models that controlled for possible selection biases by officers, we do not find evidence of significant differing impacts across the groups. In concluding, we argue that PJ training for hot spots policing officers is a promising approach to increasing PJ in interactions across racial/ethnic groups.
