Join Dr. Iain Britton as he interviews Andrew Morley of PwC Middle East in this thought-provoking episode on the evolving role of volunteer policing. With 30 years of public safety experience, Andrew shares international insights—from Abu Dhabi’s “We Are Police” programme to strategic frameworks helping police forces address cybercrime and build public trust.
Explore why volunteers are more than a “nice to have,” how specialist skill sets can fill critical gaps, and what law enforcement agencies worldwide can learn from each other.
