At the Institute of Policing, we actively engage with local and global partnerships to foster knowledge exchange, collaborative working, and the development of a robust network passionate about policing advancements.
Currently, we have established partnerships with key policing bodies across the West Midlands Region in the UK, including Staffordshire Police, Warwickshire Police, and West Mercia Police. As a frontrunner in the delivery of the Policing Education Qualifications Framework (PEQF), our aim is to professionalise and standardise police education throughout the UK. With over 3000 UK police officers currently enrolled in our programmes, we are making significant strides in this endeavour.
In addition to our UK partnerships, we are committed to forging working relationships globally. We are presently partnered with Rutgers University’s Miller Centre on Policing and Community Resilience in the USA, as well as the new Enforcement, Law and Management University (ELMU) in Malaysia.
At the IoP, we are dedicated to supporting the broader police professionalisation agenda while upholding human rights in all aspects of policing. We believe that policing is a public leadership activity that demands critical thinking and ethical decision-making. Recognising its global and interconnected nature, we draw on various academic disciplines in our approach.
