Emergency Services Times 3/2/2025 News Unpacking the structural issues in policing: Uncomfortable knowledge (Part 2) Scarlett Haig talks to Mark Fenton-O'Creevy, Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Chair of the Advisory Group for the Centre of Policing Research and Learning at the Open University Business School. He has conducted organisational research over more than three decades on organisations such as investment banks, multinational companies, and (more recently) policing organisations. Mark shares his research for a recent article in Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice, "Uncomfortable knowledge, the production of ignorance, and the trustworthiness of UK policing". Mark asks how organisations that employ many good people can fail to challenge persistent and egregious misbehaviour to the extent that it threatens their legitimacy in the public eye. In part two he suggests how policing organisations might get comfortable with difficult realities and become organisations that learn from mistakes. The discussion also delves into the structural issues within policing that contribute to ignorance and hinder effective change. They explore the disconnections across the rank structure, the impact of a short-term focus, and the need for emotional support in addressing uncomfortable knowledge. The conversation emphasises the importance of courage and the recognition of systemic problems to foster a more effective policing environment.
