World Health Organization Policing Consultant Professor Karl Roberts believes forces responded “incredibly well” to the pandemic, but should build closer relationships with public health agencies to improve the response to future challenges, as he explained to Policing Insight Publisher Bernard Rix on a recent leg of the Policing Friendship Walking Tour.

Prof Roberts was talking to Policing Insight’s Publisher Bernard Rix on a recent leg of the Policing Friendship Walking Tour, which is taking Bernard across the British Isles where he is hoping to visit all police forces, before then continuing the Tour around the world, in an effort to raises awareness and money for policing charities.
