Calling all Law Enforcement Leaders!   Wondering about the top strategic priorities shaping the future of law enforcement? Join us at the upcoming Police Strategy Forum on the 17th, 18th and 19th June 2024 where we're bringing together over 120 chief constables, chief executives, and senior leaders from across the UK and Europe to delve into innovative solutions addressing the sector's pressing technological and operational challenges. Insights into UK and European law enforcement agencies have revealed that ‘improving service delivery under the pressures of lowering budgets' is the current top strategic priority for police leaders. Additionally, key priorities include: - Enhancing intelligence sharing across forces and borders - vital for bolstering effectiveness and agility in combating evolving threats.  - Elevating public perception of local policing - strengthening community trust and engagement, cornerstone elements of effective law enforcement.  Ready to be part of the conversation? Join us at the Police Strategy Forum and discover how you can contribute to shaping the future of policing.

Last week we completed another Advanced Cellular Analysis Class sponsored by the Indiana State Police. 14 more law enforcement officers have now graduated to the next level of training on their quest to become subject matter experts in the field of Cellular Record Analysis. Many thanks to our friends in Indiana as well as our training partners Subsentio Academy and Cognyte. #lawenforcementtraining #subsentioacademy #cellularanalysis #precisioncellularanalysis #indianastatepolice

Matt Yglesias gets a lot right when he writes about the spatial mismatch of policing and crime https://lnkd.in/eUNp8zME are right on, but his policy prescription--getting more than 19,000 local law enforcement agencies to submit to state oversight--is unlikely to work. A better solution is to invest in all of the non-policing pro-growth strategies that are correlated with crime reduction, which I've outlined here: https://lnkd.in/eTEwDjJ3

Law enforcement must embrace the use of data analysis and other proven evidence-based policing techniques to effectively optimize problem solving in their communities. Many law enforcement professionals simply don’t know or understand the importance of this, or they don’t know where to start. That’s why it’s inspiring to see proactive and experienced professionals using their knowledge to help others who understand the importance of taking these proven approaches to address crime problems using tools they may not know are available to them.

If you’re in law enforcement, you need to read "Contemporary Issues in Law Enforcement and Policing" by Andrew Millie and Dilip K. Das. This book provides a comprehensive look at the evolving role of police officers, including the balance between intelligence-driven and community policing.

This recent master's thesis by PSO Partner Somin Kim used 2016 and 2020 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics to examine whether the representation of women in large local police departments affects community policing implementation. The research did not find a significant relationship between these variables but did show that task scope varies significantly with community policing implementation.

Inspiring Interactions and Open Talks: The Cornerstones of Community Policing In the realm of law enforcement, the traditional image of police officers patrolling streets and enforcing laws is evolving. Today, the role of the police extends far beyond mere enforcement; it encompasses inspiring interactions, open talks, knowledge sharing, and awareness campaigns. These initiatives not only bridge the gap between law enforcement and communities but also pave the way for a responsible and empowered society. Building Bridges Through Inspiring Interactions: One of the fundamental pillars of community policing is building trust and rapport with the community. Police officers are not just enforcers of law; they are also community members who are […] https://lnkd.in/gh_G_J9U In the realm of law enforcement, the traditional image of police officers patrolling streets and enforcing laws is evolving.

Do police officers have to identify themselves and their badge number upon a citizen’s request ? Generally speaking, there is no federal law and few state statutes requiring it. However, there are federal, state, and municipal code regulations or rules of procedure that often require it. If you feel that an officer is violating your rights or acting unprofessionally, you can absolutely request the information. In an incident it is wise to record them and get their badge number off their uniform and police car number or tag. It’s an interesting analysis when it involves under cover officers or if off duty. This is an interesting analysis conducted by this organization on the issue and worth reading. https://lnkd.in/giGrWgWt

Digital Policing The thing that most disappoints me about the “closed-shop” approach that pervades policing, is the untold damage it causes and the related weaknesses it creates. In my opinion, it is a self-inflicted injury and ignores so many good, caring, committed, and supportive members of the public, who simply want to help. Is it so hard to believe that some people truly feel that they have a duty to collaborate with the police, and want to contribute to improving Public Safety. Surely, we haven’t cast aside one of Sir Robert Peel’s most basic principles, which states “The police are the public and the public are the police”, have we? I understand the scepticism of some senior police figures, who are reluctant to trust anybody they don’t control directly, or see as “partners” with whom they have no choice but to interact. Sadly, the majority of such partners are further removed from public views and opinions than the police themselves, and that certainly applies to their political masters. Until we can reverse this reluctance, indeed preference, to keep collaboration from making the leap forward that it surely must, we will only be paying lip service to its potential impact. The Association of Police & Crime Commissioners (APCC) is a well intentioned group of individuals, but very much part of the furniture nowadays. It is interesting to think that the Police Service considers this type of audience as suitable to discuss the future of their service. I personally believe that there is a pressing need to hear challenges to their plans, simply because it is a service that can only operate with the consent of the public, isn’t it? Will the requisite challenge be identified by the planned audience? I don’t think it can be. The Police Service must come to terms with a level of challenge that, when combined, is greater than anything it has faced in its history. To meet the “fit for purpose” challenge of the 21st century, they must accept that “repurposing” officers to undertake technical roles puts the service at huge risk. Whether the hierarchy in policing acknowledge it or not, data collection, collation, analysis, and dissemination is central to the successful delivery of effective, efficient law enforcement in the future. No amount of well-intentioned internal initiatives by the NPCC or College of Policing can overcome a lack of true technologist engagement and direct involvement. Denial of this reality gives rise to extremely dangerous threats to the capability of our Police Service, so a complete rethink of how digital policing is funded, renewed, maintained, and operationally delivered is a must. Again, I feel that these concerns will not come as a surprise to anyone in the know. However, the fact that this debate is a national imperitive seems to be overlooked because it is difficult, expensive, and resource hungry. What price do we place on our safety at individual, family and national level? #policingbypublicconsent
