Historically, there has been a documented disjoin between the police and an effective mental ill-health response, evidenced by a number of high profile cases and reviews (i.e. Bradley or the Adebowale review). Such reviews set out a strong marker of where the police were in terms of understanding and responding to mental health. A number of years have passed since these reviews and a variety of innovations have been developed as a response. This article offers a reflection upon two such innovations (London Street Triage and Mental Health Awareness and Safeguarding Training both of which were implemented in London and supported by evaluation. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice 29/5/2019 Research article College Cops Around the Nation: A 30-Year and 40-Year Update on the State of Higher Education in Us Policing This article describes the findings of a recent national survey of 958 local (municipal and county) law enforcement agencies on the subject of higher education in US policing. It is the first national study in 30 years to examine the issue and in 40 years to examine higher education in small departments. Findings reveal that minimum education requirements to be hired, which are primarily dictated by state standards, have not changed significantly since 1988 but CEO education has changed and is highly important for agency policy and practice. Although a college degree is not usually required to be hired, it is usually required to promote to higher ranks. About half (51.5%) of sworn officers in the US who work for local agencies have a 2-year degree or higher, 28.6% have a 4-year degree or higher, and 5.4% have a graduate degree but this varies considerably by agency size, type, region, Chief/Sheriff education level, and union presence. Implications for improving education in policing are discussed. Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice - Registration at source 29/5/2019 Research article What Does Robbery Really Cost? An Exploratory Study Into Calculating Costs and ‘Hidden Costs’ of Policing Opioid-Related Robbery Offences Recent attention on the opioid crisis has almost exclusively focused on this issue as a public health concern. Although we do not dispute this approach, we recognize that the opioid crisis in Canada has also generated significant policing costs—particularly in the form of robberies of pharmacies and other businesses. Much of this cost, we argue, remains unknown and/or hidden from public discussion. In this study, we present a more accurate costing of investigating robbery cases, by focusing on a series of opioid-related robberies committed by two individuals in London, Ontario. To calculate the costs, we sought to identify some of the hidden factors not commonly accounted for. Our results indicate that the cost of investigating a robbery case—from initial call to closing of the case—is comparable with previous estimates. However, as opioid-related pharmacies occur as a series of events, total costs are not insignificant. The results of this study have implications for resource allocation policies and highlight the need for a standard police costing metric and a more nuanced understanding of opioid addiction as a policing issue. International Journal of Police Science & Management - Registration at source 29/5/2019 Research article Utilitarianism and Policing in the United States Jeremy Bentham, the father of modern utilitarianism, ranks among the most influential nineteenth century philosophers. Michael Quinn’s (2019) essay, “Bentham on Preventive Policing”, is a reminder that, in addition, Bentham pioneered what we now call “policy analysis.” In so doing, the Quinn essay illustrates that policy analysis, at its best, can also be path breaking scholarship. In this response to Quinn’s excellent essay, I have attempted to demonstrate how Bentham’s revolutionary ideas about social justice remain as important today as they were two centuries ago.
