In this edition of PolicingTV Highlights, we revisit some of the most interesting conversations from our latest videos, covering cross-border policing, performance, investigative technology and the growing use of drones. From the unusual challenge of policing roads that cross invisible jurisdictional boundaries in Cyprus to the return of tougher police performance management, the clips explore how forces are adapting to increasingly complex demands.
The programme also looks at the evolution of police interviewing technology following major miscarriages of justice, including the move towards recorded interviews and early body-worn video. Finally, York Regional Police demonstrates how its Drone as a First Responder programme can send a drone to incidents within seconds, helping assess calls, improve officer safety and free frontline units for higher-priority work.
How do you police a road that crosses between two jurisdictions without anyone seeing the border? Steve Jupp explains the unique challenges of pursuits, arrests and intelligence sharing across Cyprus’s invisible boundaries.
