Scottish International Policing Conference 2016
10th November 2016
Policing: Localism in a globalising world
The Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR) organised the Scottish International Policing Conference on 10 November, building on the success of the previous International Policing Conferences.
Supported by the James Smart Memorial Trust and the Scottish Government, the theme of this year's conference was Policing: Localism in a globalising world, with contributions from the Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Michael Matheson, MSP, the Chair of the Scottish Police Authority, Andrew Flanagan, the Chief Constable, Phil Gormley, QPM, and Professor Paul Ponsaers, University of Ghent.
A challenge for any contemporary police service is the delivery of legitimate, locally responsive policing in a world where many problems that are experienced locally have a global dimension. As the Scottish Institute for Policing Research celebrates its first ten years since its launch in October 2006, and Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority look to develop a forward-looking vision for policing in 2026 and beyond, this conference explored the challenges of localism in relation to six themes: performance, partnership, prevention, place, public accountability, and people and organisational development, and the lessons learned from recent Scottish and international research.
The conference was Chaired by Paddy Tomkins, Director of Droman Ltd and former Chief Inspector of Constabulary for Scotland.
