It is designed to enable graduates to be effective leaders and managers in a modern diverse policing context.By studying with us, you will equip yourself with the full range of skills needed to produce effective, evidence-based and ethical responses to the biggest challenges in policing. These include dealing with complex problems, new crime and security threats, increasing public scrutiny and limited resources. This programme is aimed at people with a keen interest in using evidence to improve policing for everyone. We particularly welcome applicants with professional experience in policing, for example as a police officer, staff member or professional in a related agency (e.g. the National Crime Agency or international equivalents).
