Police Oracle - Subscription at source 21/7/2020 News Factors influencing cross-border knowledge sharing by police organisations: an integration of ten European case studies The globalisation of crime means there is an increasingly vital need for effective sharing of knowledge by police organisations across international borders. However, identifying the complexities and challenges of this aspect of international collaboration has been relatively neglected in previous research. The research reported in this paper therefore set out to identify the major barriers and facilitators of international knowledge sharing. Research teams in ten European countries produced ten case studies of knowledge sharing across borders, either involving direct cooperation between police forces in different countries or through international agencies such as CEPOL or INTERPOL. The integrative findings showed that the major influences on knowledge sharing could be theoretically categorised in terms of organisational factors (e.g., technological and staff capabilities), inter-organisational factors (e.g., quality of relationships, shared visions and systems), inter-country factors (e.g., bilateral conventions, legislation) and knowledge characteristics (e.g., clarity, legal sensitivity).

The CIV Tool (Capability, Importance and Value) was used in the case study to identify opportunities for enhancing the unit’s performance. The CIV Tool is based on an action research methodology that focuses attention on police roles and the value these provide to stakeholders. Information garnered through the use of the CIV Tool is intended to inform actionable changes. Its use helped unit supervisors identify issues around role creep and role relevance. Working closely with team members, supervisors made changes to operating practices within the unit resulting in an increase in the services provided, a significant reduction in repeat calls for service and a positive response by unit members. These results were achieved within the existing budget and staffing levels at a time when the organization was experiencing significant budgetary challenges. These findings suggest that using the CIV Tool can provide important insights into police organizational performance that can be used for continuous organizational improvement which can enhance service delivery and employee engagement.

These collaborations were brought in to help forces create efficiencies and provide a better service for the public.

As part of the annual 2018/19 PEEL assessments, HMICFRS inspected the 43 forces in England and Wales.
