"Personal safety is the ability to protect policing’s workforce and members of the public.
We believe science and technology is central to policing’s efforts to identify and address wellbeing concerns, including by mitigating trauma in the first place. We wish to take advantage of emerging technologies that can help identify people who may be struggling, enabling earlier interventions. We recognise that the success of these innovations is dependent on workforce acceptance and engagement, and we seek to learn what innovations staff would use and find supportive. We are also interested in technologies that can mitigate the trauma our staff experience by the nature of their work. "
"We welcome your engagement with our ARIs in the following ways:
• If you have evidence that completely or partly supports or answers one of our ARIs, we invite you to share that with us. For any ongoing research relevant to policing and crime reduction, we encourage you to register your research on the College of Policing’s research projects map, which has been designed to promote collaboration and support requests for participants.
• If you are, or plan to be, carrying out research that relates to one of our ARIs, we’d like to hear about it. While we cannot respond to speculative approaches for research funding, we will where possible act to support your ambitions, including finding you policing partners where possible.
• If you are submitting a funding or grant application that aligns with one of our ARIs, we hope that referencing policing’s ARIs will help to strengthen your case for the possible public impact of the research.
• We will use the ARI document to structure our academic engagement, prioritise events and build new connections with external partners. We will be using our ARIs in our engagement with UKRI, and we will publish any opportunities for funding via our website https://science.police.uk/
Please send any correspondence and questions to csa@npcc.police.uk, including ‘ARI’ in the subject heading."
