Congratulations to Professor Andrew Wooff!
We are delighted to congratulate SIPR Director Andrew Wooff on his promotion to Professor at Edinburgh Napier University, effective from 1 August 2026.
Andrew joined Edinburgh Napier University in 2015 and has since made a significant contribution through his research, teaching and academic leadership, alongside his work supporting collaboration between policing, academia and partners across Scotland and beyond.
As Director of the Scottish Institute for Policing Research, Andrew plays a key role in bringing together the SIPR community and strengthening the connections between research, policy and practice.
Andrew reflected on the importance of collaboration in reaching this milestone, thanking colleagues across Edinburgh Napier University, the SIPR partnership and the wider policing research community for their support, ideas and engagement.
A huge congratulations from all of us at SIPR on this very well-deserved achievement!
