3.16 Implementing the transformation of police learning and development

November 2017 - September 2019

The major changes occurring in policing to meet Policing Vision 2025 include the recognition of the value in enhancing and changing police forces’ approaches to training, learning and development.

This is an important strategic undertaking so the project has been designed as action research – aiming to both understand but also work collaboratively with forces and national agencies to improve the training, learning and development function in police services, both strategically and operationally.
