Herald Sun (Australia) - Subscription at source 5/10/2024 News Police Responses to People Experiencing Homelessness Using open-source (i.e., social media) data collection complemented by in-depth case studies, we present a typology of police responses to homelessness across the United States. We identified eight categories of discretionary police responses to homelessness. For several of our categories, we identified subcategories. We present and define each category in the typology and provide open-source examples for each discretionary response. The majority of responses are steeped in discretion and must be tailored to the local context. This work demonstrates that many police departments are innovative in their responses to people experiencing homelessness. While novel, this research can be used as a foundational resource to help guide law enforcement agencies in responding to people experiencing homelessness. It also lays the groundwork for future evaluation efforts that are needed to determine which police responses to homelessness produce positive outcomes or meet specified goals and which do not. Police Quarterly 5/10/2024 Research article How Gaza sparked the biggest UK protest movement in recent history – and a headache for the police The regular demos have been largely peaceful, but are taking their toll on an overstretched force – so far costing £46.8m and involving 60,000 shifts The Guardian 5/10/2024 Feature Body-worn video guidance 2024 In an era where transparency and accountability are paramount to public trust in policing, bodyworn video (BWV) continues to represent a significant advancement in our ability to document interactions between the police and the public, enhance community relations and ensure the integrity of our actions. Innovation within technology is moving at an incredibly fast pace and this can bring speed, accuracy, and productivity benefits to policing. BWV is no exception with advancements in real-time situational awareness, AI features that can monitor and analyse behaviour, sound and faces, and software that can provide us with rich and accurate analysis. Policing needs to consider how best to utilise this technology in the future, with a robust commitment to ethical standards. This year has brought national disorder across all parts of the country, which has had significant impacts on policing, and a profound, long-lasting effect on our communities. BWV has been invaluable in capturing evidence, building intelligence pictures, and ensuring offenders are dealt with swiftly through the criminal justice system. These events resulted in mass movement of staff, who moved quickly to assist neighbouring forces. I urge you to familiarise yourself with the mutual aid guidance within this document, and ensure your staff are deployed with BWV, and afforded the protection it can bring, regardless of where they are in the country. I remain committed to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement in BWV practices and this document outlines current best practice for the overt deployment and use of BWV. It is the result of collaborations across all UK police forces, partner agencies, along with strategic stakeholders. It truly is a collaborative document and I thank everyone involved for their continued support.
