In this second episode of, Rachel Tuffin, Interim Director at the Centre for Police Productivity, joins Policing TV’s Bernard Rix to explore how the UK College of Policing is driving innovation and measurable impact across the 43 police forces in England and Wales.

Rachel outlines the ‘Four I’s’ framework — Insight, Innovation, Implementation, and Impact — and how it’s helping identify what works, embed good practice, and secure long-term investment in policing.

She also shares examples of productivity-enhancing tools, including early trials of AI-powered statement support and plain-English legal guidance for frontline officers.

Finally, Rachel discusses her handover to colleagues Nerys Thomas and James Bottomley, and how performance improvement and productivity work are being merged into a unified mission to support policing outcomes.
