Rachel Tuffin discusses the efforts of the Centre for Police Productivity at the UK’s College of Policing to consolidate research findings and implement effective policing strategies across England and Wales.

Rachel and Bernard cover the importance of collaboration among various organizations, the process of evaluating and rolling out innovations, and the need for evidence-based decision-making in policing.

Rachel also highlights the lack of systematic approaches in other jurisdictions and invites international collaboration.
