The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 10/11/2021 News Towards Common Values and Culture: challenges and solutions in developing the basic training of the European border and coast standing corps category 1 in pandemic crisis The development of the Basic Training for the European Border and Coast Guard Standing Corps was in the final stage when the pandemic crises hit all of us dramatically in early 2020, and forced to find alternative solutions in carrying out the training in new circumstances. Urgent actions were needed to re-design the implementation of the Basic Training, as the situation at the external borders of the EU did not allow to compromise the rapid establishment of the Standing Corps.

Irish Independent (Republic of Ireland) 10/11/2021 News Comparing Rape Myth Acceptance Among Police Trainees and Medical Students: A Preliminary Danish Validation of the Updated Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale Identifying rape myths among criminal justice and medical professionals is central to preventing secondary victimization. We present the first preliminary Danish validation of McMahon and Farmer’s updated Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance scale using samples of police and medical trainees. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses result in a 14-item, four-factor measure that demonstrates acceptable model fit, satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity, and good internal consistency. Although reported rape myth acceptance is generally low in both samples, some subscale scores vary across professional groups, thereby identifying specific targets for intervention in different occupational contexts. Further tests of the scale are recommended.

This exploratory study uses content analysis to identify characteristics of these calls, including reasons for calling police, advice and actions undertaken by communications centres staff, and actions undertaken by frontline officers. Four important findings emerge. First, there has been a significant increase in the proportion of mental health-related calls that did not involve reporting of an offence or emergency (increased from 48% in 2010 to 57% in 2016). Second, there was a significant increase in calls that were initiated by the person who appeared to be experiencing mental illness and distress during the time of the call (increased from 53% to 62%). Third, the way communication centres staff and frontline officers responded to mental health-related calls also changed over time. There was an increased tendency of communications centre staff advising the callers to call back if the situation escalates or if they require further assistance (which increased from 14% to 24%). Fourth, among the events attended by a police unit, there was an increase in the proportion of events where a frontline officer contacted a mental health agency (which increased from 6% of attended events to 10%). Moreover, transportation to a police station decreased (21.7% to 11%) while there were increases in the transportation of a person’s home (2.7% to 6%). Transportation to a mental health facility averaged at 24.9% over the period Policing and Society - Registration at source 10/11/2021 Research article Alleged drug kingpin and fugitive Mostafa Baluch arrested AUSTRALIA: Police have arrested alleged cocaine kingpin and fugitive Mostafa Baluch after he was found hiding inside a Mercedes being transported on a truck travelling to Queensland.
