In this week’s World Policing Weekly, Bernard Rix focuses on policing in the United States, including new research on robbery investigations, public knowledge of rights during police encounters, police shootings data, recruitment challenges and the growing use of AI in law enforcement.
The episode also looks at the potential impact of the US midterm elections on federal and local policing, before Maria Stanley joins Bernard to reflect on the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference, the value of international policing networks and the continuing challenge of improving women’s representation in senior police leadership.
