Event Briefing

The conference shared the findings of a pilot study, conducted in partnership with Northern Constabulary, and funded by SIPR, the Carnegie Foundation and the Stirling School of Education. The study examined the dimensions of rural policing practice and knowledge in Scotland and looked at the unique demands that are encountered by the police service in different rural contexts in Scotland, and the unique approaches to policing that have been developed. The key findings were linked to critical issues and changes facing Scottish police forces today.A report of the research is available as SIPR Research Summary (No 10)ProPELWelcome and Opening Comments DCC Andy Cowie, Northern Constabulary & Professor Nick Fyfe, Director, SIPRPodcast [6 minutes, 6.0 Mb]
