Evidence Based Policing: what it is and why will it become even more important in the future
Evidence-Based Policing (EBP) has emerged as a transformational paradigm shift designed to revolutionize police methods, drawing its inspiration from evidence-based practices in other professional domains such as healthcare, psychology, and social work.
Why use 2030 as a time horizon?
When we think strategically about the future of policing it may be attractive to think about what policing will look like in 50 years. That has a real ring to it. However, the longer your time horizon is the fuzzier the future looks and the less practical your forecast will be. We think that 2030 is a useful and realistic time horizon for thinking about the future of policing in a way that allows for realistic planning and discussions.
What is the Future Policing Institute?
The Future Policing Institute was established in 2019 as a vehicle for anchoring foresight and innovation to the culture of policing.
