The use of out-of-court resolutions (OoCRs) by police forces in England and Wales is inconsistent, but some forces have recorded significant reductions in investigation times and improvements in outcomes; with costs sometimes viewed as a problem, police and technology advisor Paul Kennedy, and Josh Hartlage, founder of tech company AdventFS, explore the ‘offender pays’ OoCR model which could offer a viable solution.

They’ve taken over the asylum and started walking on their hands, and they’re determined to make us do the same or feel ashamed for staying the right way up. That is what I thought, anyway, when I read that children as young as nine are being cautioned by the police for calling each other names in the playground. The Spectator 26/11/2024 Feature, Opinion NSW Police kicks off third attempt to replace 30-year-old core platform AUSTRALIA: NSW Police has relaunched its search for a new core policing system two years after it terminated a multi-million contract with US-based vendor Mark43. The force has issued a premarket notice for a crime-fighting system to replace its now 30-year-old computerised operational policing system - known as COPS - and associated “legacy technology and sub-optimal business processes”. The latest procurement foray marks the force’s third attempt to replace its core policing platform in the last decade. NSW Police stated it is open to both commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products or a single low-code product, provided they deliver on six requirements. These are investigations management; information and intelligence management; procedural justice; regulatory services, crime prevention and public safety; unifying services and a unifying interface.

NEW ZEALAND: The government has been accused of playing "fast and loose" with statistics in order to claim its gang crackdown has slowed ballooning membership. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Police Minister Mark Mitchell acknowledged the police's national gang list had been "sanitised" and indicated they would not use the corresponding drop in numbers to claim success. And yet in an interview with RNZ published Monday, Luxon did just that, claiming gang membership had grown just one percent under his watch, compared to the explosion under Labour.

Police Professional 26/11/2024 News Steering a path to cultural change: Emerging and enduring characteristics of policing cultures in the UK In the 25 years since the first issue of the International Journal of Police Science & Management was published, policing has undergone significant change as a result of economic, political and social change. Yet this period has unfortunately been bookended by the Macpherson Report in 1999 and the Casey Review in 2023, both highly critical of the occupational cultures within policing. This article takes the issue of policing cultures and examines the extent to which early ethnographic writings on the everyday realities of policing reflect the cultures of today and examines the potential and the desire for both continued research in this area and for cultural change itself. An understanding of cultural characteristics as individual layers contributing to the overall sedimentation of policing practices enables us to see how change, albeit slowly, can potentially happen. The article also suggests, however, that the tendency towards conformity within policing – in terms of both conforming to organisational working practices and norms and conforming to informal occupational cultures – puts pressure on everyone within the policing organisation to ‘fit in’, restricting difference, challenge and ultimately, significant change. A better understanding of the deep roots of occupational cultures within policing and an appreciation of both its benefits and appeal is necessary for a whole organisation approach to reform. International Journal of Police Science & Management 26/11/2024 Research article What goes up must come down? 25 years of public trust in the police Public trust in the police is an almost ever-present feature of United Kingdom policy, political and indeed cultural debates, and this has been true right across the past quarter century. Concentrating on the population-level picture, and on England and Wales, in this article I outline what we know about changes in ‘trust and confidence’ over the past two decades or so, and make comparison with changes in other, closely associated, indicators. Why it might be that over this period trust in police first increased significantly, and then declined? Answers to this question implicate what might be termed the political economy of trust. Change in public trust may be due to a whole set of factors operating across multiple levels of policing and the society in which it takes place.
