Herald Express 5/11/2021 News Perceived Work Engagement and Performance Amongst Police Officers During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Hong Kong Although work-related stress among police officers during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has been examined in recent studies, empirical studies of the impacts of multiple stressors on police officers’ work engagement and performance during this difficult time have been scarce. Using data collected from a sample of 335 police officers in Hong Kong, this study investigated the effects of supervisor support and different occupational stressors on police officers’ work engagement and performance during the pandemic. The regression results indicated that the impact of supervisor support was significantly and positively associated with both work outcomes. Operational stressors had a significant negative impact on the two work outcomes, and supervisor support had no moderating effect on the relationships between the various stressors and the two work outcomes. Practical suggestions on how to increase supervisor support for police officers and mitigate operational stressors are discussed. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 5/11/2021 Research article A New Generation of Police Officers: Experiences of Student Officers Undertaking the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship in One UK Police Force The Policing Vision 2025 and 2030 outlined long-term strategies to ensure consistency and accreditation in those joining policing careers in England and Wales, standardizing the qualifications obtained by all new recruits. The Police Educational Qualifications Framework has since been designed to support this vision, enabling three new entry routes into policing, one being the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship. This resulted in policing becoming a graduate profession from 2020, which is argued to be a radical transformation for policing. This research conducted focus groups and thematic analysis with three cohorts of student police officers (N = 30) undertaking the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) at different stages of their programme in one police force. It unpicked motivations for joining the PCDA, their experiences so far and improvements for future workings of the programme. The disconnect between policing and academia was a key barrier, and students could not always utilize the academic teaching in practical policing settings.

The Irish Times (Republic of Ireland) 5/11/2021 News A Comparative Study of Police Organizational Changes in Europe During the Covid-19 Pandemic Police organizations—like many other social institutions—were forced to make changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This exploratory study uses data from 15 European countries to examine how the police organizations have adjusted their operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results suggest the way in which police organizations responded to the pandemic was complicated. Some police functions, such as handling of complaints and internal investigations, did not change substantially during the pandemic. On the other hand, functions which normally involved significant face-to-face contact within organizations, such as in-person rollcalls and police training, were substantially affected. Police organizations also changed their reactive policing activities, such as handling of calls for service, traffic stops, and taking people into custody, as well as proactive policing activities, such as community policing and directed patrols. The results further indicate that police administrators did not perceive that these changes would negatively affect either their relationship with the community nor morale within police organizations. European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin - Registration at source 5/11/2021 Research article What Society Expects and Receives: The press conferences of the Operational Group during the SARS-COVID-19 pandemic Perhaps there is no dispute that during crises, and especially global crises, social crisis communication requires a high degree of commitment to the public and communities. In times of health emergencies, effective communication, which in this case means epidemic-risk communication, cannot be a one-way communication, it should be based on dialogue and has to be a process of wide-ranging multi-stakeholder information- and opinion exchange. Its purpose should not be solely to communicate rules and statistics data and to express expected behaviours. The pandemic-related police communication is expected to strengthen, amongst others, (public) trust, encourage the proper behaviour, help the civilians with their decision-making, provide an opportunity to articulate their concerns and doubts, and respond to them professionally and authentically. On 31st January in 2020, the Hungarian Government decided to establish the Operational Group responsible for defending and managing the coronavirus epidemic. Till now, the daily press conferences of this Unit were (and still are) the base for informing the citizens. The press conference genre has been taken to a new level by restriction of the journalists and exclusion of spontaneous questions, that cannot be asked directly anymore. The Operational Group selects the questions and mediums which are worthy of answers. In my presentation, the societal expectations with the experienced (governmental and police) practice will be analysed, comparing them with the general principles included in the work of theoretical experts of crisis communication.
