East Midlands Police - Academic Collaboration Sandpit

This half-day event brings together police professionals and academic researchers across the East Midlands (and beyond) to develop more effective partnerships that deliver real operational value for the police. In today's challenging public service landscape, police forces face increasing demands with constrained resources. This Sandpit creates a collaborative space where police and academics can jointly identify priority challenges, develop collaborative frameworks between academia and policing, and co-create conceptual solutions that bridge the gap between research and frontline policing.
