World-class police education solutions, research and innovation

The International Policing and Justice Institute is a leading centre for police, security and justice training; accreditation; continuing professional development; and bespoke consultancy. It is based within the College of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Derby, but draws upon an interdisciplinary network of expertise across the University, including forensics, computing, leadership, engineering, architecture, and more.

The Institute has been established as the only centre in the UK specialising in international policing, and this is due to our significant experience of working with a number of overseas governments and agencies. Our links with the Royal Malaysia Police in particular, demonstrate our strength in police training to international standards.

This brochure introduces you to the services we offer, our specialist expertise and key personnel, and also illustrates some recent successes through a series of case studies. If, after reading this brochure, you are ready to find out more, please contact us using the details on the back cover. We look forward to talking to you about how the Institute can benefit your organisation.

Professor Malcolm Todd, Dean of the College of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

We are the only institute in the world to offer a whole country police education solution.

Expertise drawn from across the University

The International Policing and Justice Institute is part of the University of Derby. Established in 1992, the University of Derby was the first academic institution in the UK to combine the study of policing, applied criminology and law in one academic department. Since then we have built a reputation as a world-leading provider of police education, with around 6,800 police officers studying on our awards (academic year 2014-15).

We are distinctive in the following ways:• We are the only institute in the world to offer a whole country police

education solution.• We are one of the only institutes in the world to run academic

programmes entirely in the local language of policing and in the context of Islamic culture.

• We have Europe’s largest concentration of expertise in criminal investigation within a university.

• We are the only UK university that has been commissioned to provide independent inspection of custody units.

• All of our staff have worked in the policing profession, at every level.• Our approach combines high levels of practical training with

research-informed academic theory.

We believe policing should be recognised as a global responsibility and an international profession. We seek out the best practice in policing, wherever it may be in the world, and we recognise that different cultures, countries and geographies require different policing approaches. We also see policing education in a holistic sense, including physical and psychological fitness, as well as legal and criminological knowledge. Professor Kevin Bampton, Director of the Institute

Our Institute can bring to bear considerable experience, having gone through the process of independently accrediting 13 states and three federal territories, based on international and UK policing standards. Our experienced team can support you by mapping your existing courses to professional standards, or work with you to design new programmes, which meet your workforce development needs.

Our courses are carefully designed to match not only your requirements, but also to meet the rigorous standards of the UK’s Higher Education Quality Assurance Agency. Wherever possible, we develop assessments that are based on real work activity.

Research fellowships and partnerships We undertake commissioned research and consultancy projects, which aid the development of law, policy and practice. We also welcome: • Long and short-term visits from police officers or academics who want

to undertake research (we also offer PhD study in the policing and forensic science field).

• Partnerships with organisations who want to conduct collaborative research or comparative policing research.

Many of Derby’s academics are former law enforcement officers so they have the on-the-ground experience that many other universities don’t have. I also worked as a senior customs officer in Malaysia and worked closely with the Royal Malaysia Police for over 20 years.Dr Kassim Noor Mohamed, Project Manager (Malaysia) for the Institute

“We thank the University of Derby for this strategic collaboration and for helping us realise our vision of becoming the provider of modern and world-class policing with human resource of the highest integrity, knowledge and competence.”Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar

A competitive landscapeRoyal Malaysia Police (RMP) began discussions with a number of universities in 2012 but following a competitive selection process, our Institute was chosen as the successful partner and an agreement was signed.

Project Manager (Malaysia) for the Institute, Dr Kassim Noor Mohamed, believes our success was largely because of key personnel: “Many of Derby’s academics are former law enforcement officers so they have the on-the-ground experience that many other universities don’t have. I also worked as a senior customs officer in Malaysia and worked closely with the Royal Malaysia Police for over 20 years.”

A collaboration in police training between the Institute and the Royal Malaysia Police has made history. It’s the first time a UK university has become the awarding body for an entire country’s police force and it means that every police officer in Malaysia will have their training accredited by the University of Derby – that’s over 100,000 people.

A vision for world-class police training in Malaysia The Inspector-General of Police published his 2013 Vision for Police Training in Malaysia, in which he set out his intention to create “modern and world-class policing through dynamic training”.

Specifically, the Royal Malaysia Police’s leadership sought independent scrutiny and quality assessment of its initial training programmes for new recruits at constable, sergeant and inspector levels. They also wanted to provide a suite of awards that presented a coherent framework of policing qualifications, and become one of the first police services in the world to achieve this.

This innovative approach to ‘professionalising’ policing was noticed and welcomed at once by our experts. Head of Leadership Education at the Institute and former senior police officer, Nick Howe, was part of the initial team sent out to begin discussions. He explains: “The Royal Malaysia Police had clearly embraced the concept of policing being a profession, and as such, viewed the subject matter ‘policing’ as a legitimate academic discipline, in the context of how policing is both learned and importantly, understood”. Nick also found that they “wholeheartedly positively embraced” the principle that “intellectual capital is the domain of the whole organisation”, rather than the preserve of ‘management’ – a traditional view held by many.

This course will improve the overall expectations the public have of the PDRM, as it professionalises the police service. I now feel confident that I have the knowledge and skill to handle anything that comes my way as a police sergeant.Muhammad Zuifadh Bin Ab. Wahab, a recent graduate

Royal Malaysia Police

The Royal Malaysia Police are, as a result of this partnership, becoming a hub for police training in Southeast Asia, attracting officers from all over the world, such as Brunei, Australia and Korea.

Value-added servicesIn addition to providing the services that are integral to the accreditation, we have also created strong links between the teaching teams in Malaysia and the UK. For example, we’ve sent over academics to deliver guest lectures on topics such as the psychology of interviewing. Institute staff also hold an induction event for those starting the programmes and organise regular ‘feedback forums’.

The future of this partnershipRMP have asked us to look at accrediting all of their other training for existing police officers, so that progression to higher-level qualifications is available within the organisation. We intend to use our expertise in work-based learning to enhance this training, for example, incorporating research projects that have a practical focus, related to the specialism of each officer.

Dr Kassim Noor Mohamed summarises the future of this partnership: “We will continue to work with RMP on enhancing existing curriculums, accrediting their other training and developing their academic team, with the eventual aim of handing over full control of the qualifications to RMP. It’s essentially about knowledge transfer.”

The outcomes so farThis collaborative programme was formally launched on the 207th Malaysian Police Day, 25 March 2014.

So far, we have worked with the RMP to accredit their basic police training programme for new recruits at three levels:• Constables gain a Level 3 Diploma in Policing• Sergeants gain a BSc (Hons) Police Science (Top-Up)• Inspectors gain a Postgraduate Certificate in Police Leadership.

Officers receive training in areas such as the Law, investigation and interview techniques, suspects’ rights, management, leadership and administration. The courses are delivered by police trainers in Malaysia but are overseen and quality controlled by our tutors.

In 2014, there were approximately 3,000 graduates and in 2015, there will be approximately 6,500 graduates. We have received many positive comments from those who have undertaken the programmes.

“I now have a great sense of pride and achievement at completing the course and doing very well. It will help me to become a better officer, dealing confidently with the public. I would now like to progress within PDRM and do a masters course at the University.”Ernee Nabasureen Bin Mohammed Nadzik, graduate sergeant

“I thought that the whole course was very good. The standard of teaching was good and I think that I am now a better police officer than when I started.”Muhammad Hafizi Bin Azemi, graduate sergeant

“I am pleased that the University is collaborating with PDRM. I have met the staff from the University a few times and they have been helpful, providing good explanations and information.”Muhammad Iqram Bin Ahmed Shahril, graduate sergeant

Applied masters degrees attract the United Arab Emirates’ police service

High levels of satisfactionThe UAE are significantly increasing the number of police officers being sponsored to attend our programmes (the MSc Criminal Investigation, LLM Transnational Criminal Law, LLM Investigation and Prosecution of Human Rights, and MSc Police Leadership, Strategy and Organisation.) This is due to the bespoke and country-specific approach we take.

Two students who are close to finishing the MSc Criminal Investigation programme, Rashed Alderei and Juma Alremeithi, certainly had many positive things to say about their experience, particularly about the expertise of the lecturers. Juma explains: “All the lecturers are very experienced, which is very important and useful. It’s good to hear about practical experience as well as the academic side. We looked at a lot of cases and learned how to work with them and how to solve them. We are ready now to go back home and get started.” Rashed agreed and was quick to recommend the Institute: “I studied a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice at police college but since coming here I’ve learned a lot more about what I need for my job. I would recommend coming here to any police officer.”

Over the last five years, the Institute has built strong links with the UAE’s police service. Approximately 50 of their middle-ranking police officers have graduated from our MSc Criminal Investigation programme and this year, the number of students they intend to send to Derby will double. Furthermore, our groundbreaking new MSc in Police Leadership has also gained their backing.

The right MSc for the UAEThe UAE’s police service first approached us back in 2011 via the Office of the Police Attaché, which is part of their embassy in London. Dr David Walsh, Programme Leader of the MSc Criminal Investigation at that time and a world-renowned expert in the interviewing of victims, witnesses and suspects, reflects on the reasons for their interest: “As a relatively young country, the UAE were keen to learn from the police forces of more established nations, particularly the British Police, who are held in high esteem internationally. They were attracted to Derby specifically because of our specialist expertise in police and justice, our applied learning approach and our use of former police and investigation practitioners as teachers.”

“The UAE cohorts have benefitted from exclusive teaching at our UK Derby Campus while they developed their confidence and understanding of international investigation practices. Integrated specialist language provision now means we can offer this masters level education to an even broader group of officers.”

UAE police service

“The environment in the class and within the University was excellent. The presenters and academic staff were obviously deeply engaged in their various fields and all were up-to-date. This is an auspicious start to a potentially ground-breaking programme.”Comment from a senior UK police officer about our short course in Police Leadership and Organisational Transformation – the pre-cursor to our new MSc Police Leadership, Strategy and Organisation.

Global knowledge exchange Dr David Walsh is in no doubt about the value of our link with the UAE: “Universities have to be global these days and as an academic, you have to seek out best practice, wherever it is in the world. For example, I’ve recently just edited two volumes of text about police interviewing of victims, witnesses and suspects, and have drawn on many international examples. International relationships and links, such as that which we have established with the UAE, are vital in enabling this global knowledge exchange.”

Commitment to our new MScThe next chapter in this story is the launch of a cutting-edge new masters degree in Police Leadership, Strategy and Organisation in September 2015. The UAE’s Police Attaché has already committed to sending approximately 10 students for its first year: a ringing endorsement for our Institute and for the quality of our curriculums. Led by Nick Howe, Senior Lecturer in Criminology and former senior police officer, the programme has already attracted widespread international interest. UAE officers will be learning alongside other police officers from countries such as Oman, Bahrain, Malaysia and the UK.

Police leaders today have to operate in a transparent, ethical and highly accountable arena, where their decisions are often scrutinised by the courts, politicians, media and indeed the general public. This exciting new MSc takes account of that, offering a unique combination of the latest business and management thinking, criminology and social sciences – all applied to the complex challenges of contemporary policing.

The programme builds on the success of our 2014 short course in Police Leadership and Organisational Transformation, which was attended by UK police officers deemed as having high potential. We received excellent feedback from this short course.

Providing quality assurance to the Police College in Qatar

Our role at the new Police CollegeOne of our senior law academics, Ms Sara Ward, who specialises in developing new courses for domestic and international partners, is working at the Police College in Qatar for nine months. She explains her role: “As Quality Expert, I am taking an overview of what is being delivered and how it is being delivered and assisting the Police College in the development of practice-based academic assessment and teaching. My role also involves overseeing support systems such as HR, staff recruitment, student recruitment, record keeping, infrastructure and so on, because quality assurance in this instance includes not only the academic side, but also everything that goes towards developing a world-class police education institution.”

“ Our main objective...is building graduates armed with knowledge and science and who are able to contribute and take part in preserving the security of society along with the safety of all individuals...”

H.E. Abdullah Bin Nasser Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior; Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Police College.

The Qatar National Vision 2030 is a clear and ambitious roadmap for Qatar’s future. Developing a world-class police force is an essential part of this, and with the opening of the new Police College of Qatar in March 2015, the country has already taken a first important step towards achieving this.

Our Institute has been selected to work with the Police College to provide quality assurance and help make it a regional model of excellence in the field.

The history between Derby and QatarNick Slade, Director of International Development for the University explains how this exciting opportunity emerged: “We have been working in Qatar for several years and have built relationships with several educational institutions. We regularly meet with the national higher education body, the Supreme Education Council, to try to help them achieve their strategic aims. We have also signed an articulation agreement with the College for North Atlantic Qatar, just outside Doha, who deliver a range of high quality technical and vocational programmes. As a result of these links, approximately 90 Qatari students each year enrol on one of our courses at Derby – engineering and business programmes are particularly popular.

“Then in January 2014 a senior delegation from Qatar visited us in Derby to discuss our international policing and criminology provision. Following a return trip to Qatar, we were invited to present a proposal to the Police College about how we might help them establish their new institution and ensure its success.”

Police College in Qatar

The current picture and future growthThe Inauguration Ceremony of the Police College in Qatar was held in March 2015 and was attended by high-profile policing figures such as Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, Commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police Service. The first cohort of students on the College’s new Bachelors Degree in Law and Police Sciences have just begun their foundation stage. The cohort contains approximately 130 students, most of whom are Qatari nationals but there are also a small number of students from neighbouring countries such as Kuwait and Palestine. In addition to helping develop and enhance the curriculum of this degree, we have also proposed a bespoke ‘trainer training’ programme for Police College tutors.

Our involvement at this early stage is laying the important foundations for the College’s future, which is due to undergo a rapid expansion plan between now and 2017. Student numbers are set to double year on year initially, however this rate will increase once separate female facilities are built, allowing female recruits to be admitted to the College. When completed, the campus will be the size of a small town and will house an impressive array of facilities, including accommodation for 500-600 students, two Olympic-sized swimming pools, two athletics tracks, a parade ground and stadium, state-of-the-art training facilities and teaching facilities, and a hospital for students and staff.

A valuable partnershipQuality Expert for this project, Ms Ward, is clear about the benefits of this association: “Qatar is eager to increase its profile internationally and to demonstrate that it is forward thinking and striving for a level of police education and professionalism that’s on a par with the UK. The International Policing and Justice Institute is helping to develop a future Qatari police force that meets these international standards in terms of accountability, transparency, equality and human rights. In return, by being here, we are raising our profile in the region and proving our academic credibility.”

17

It is hoped that this will be the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship, where both partners can gain as much as possible from the other through the sharing of good practice and differing experiences and cultures.Ms Sara Ward, Quality Expert for the Police College of Qatar; Programme Leader and Lecturer in Law for the University of Derby.

Tackling modern day slavery through new alliances

This work has been welcomed by Karen Bradley MP, the UK Home Office Minister for Modern Slavery and Organised Crime. On her visit to the University of Derby in December 2014, she commented: “I am grateful for the vital work being carried out by the University of Derby and the GLA, to help consign slavery to the history books where it belongs.”

“I am grateful for the vital work being carried out by the University of Derby and the GLA, to help consign slavery to the history books where it belongs.”Karen Bradley MP, UK Home Office Minister for Modern Slavery and Organised Crime

Training UK employers to identify human exploitationOur academic team has been working to develop responses to modern slavery, dealing with local issues in a global context. The team has supported the first national workshop on tackling human trafficking, and contributed to the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

We have also been working with the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA; part of the UK Home Office) for several years, helping them to upskill their workforce in readiness for the implementation of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The GLA’s remit is to protect vulnerable and exploited workers, by regulating businesses that provide employees to the following industries: horticultural; agricultural; shellfish gathering; or any associated processing and packaging industry. People working in these sectors – as for example, crop pickers, factory fruit packers, or meat processing plant workers – can be vulnerable to wage exploitation by unscrupulous employers, in ways amounting to modern slavery.

An international anti-slavery academyWorking with the GLA, we have set up an international anti-slavery academy. The aim of this is to help supply chains learn how to police their own suppliers and ensure that products and services are not delivered as a result of human slavery or trafficked humans. In our latest strand of work, we are planning, delivering and accrediting training, which will help employers in these and other sectors carry out the new statutory duties required of them by the Modern Slavery Act 2015.

The GLA, in partnership with the Institute, will offer a range of courses to key employers such as supermarkets and recruitment agencies. This will include training for different levels of employee: front line managers will learn to identify the signs of exploitation, while human resource managers, contract managers and others will be taught how to better manage and audit their supply chains.

Tackling modern slavery

with countering the trade in labour exploitation reflects how progressive our Indonesian partners are, as well as the growing profile of the University of Derby, which has become a centre of excellence in this area of study.”

“The agreement between our two universities will be highly beneficial to our long-term mission and will enable us to advance our knowledge and better educate our students by observing and learning British education systems. In return, we wish to show the University of Derby the value of local wisdom.” Mr Roedy Wiranatakusumah, International Partnership Manager at the University of Pasundan

Partnership with the University of Pasundan, IndonesiaThe work on modern slavery has an international scope, evidenced by our recent partnership with the University of Pasundan in Indonesia. During April 2015, eight members of the University of Pasundan visited Derby to sign a memorandum of understanding: a statement of intent that both universities would work to broaden their relationship and investigate future collaborations.

Initially, two academics from our Institute – Professor Kevin Bampton and Dr David Walsh – will be supervising a Pasundan academic, Roedy Wiranatakusumah, for his PhD about human trafficking to and from Indonesia, particularly in the shipping industry. This is a major issue for the country and has tragic human consequences. The aim of the PhD research is to examine whether current legislation is adequate, and make recommendations that will help tackle the problem.

In addition, our two universities are exploring ideas for future research projects, staff exchange opportunities and guest lecture programmes.

A valuable partnershipMr Roedy Wiranatakusumah, International Partnership Manager at the University of Pasundan, expressed his excitement at this new partnership: “The agreement between our two universities will be highly beneficial to our long-term mission and will enable us to advance our knowledge and better educate our students by observing and learning British education systems. In return, we wish to show the University of Derby the value of local wisdom.” He continued: “Our delegation was so pleased to meet a world-class university like the University of Derby. We received plenty of information and opportunities during the presentation that enriched our knowledge; it was an overwhelming experience.”

Professor Kevin Bampton, Director of the Institute said: “The University of Pasundan has marked itself as a distinctive Indonesian voice in international education. The desire to focus on a partnership that starts

Ms Angie Neville MSc, Lecturer in Criminal Investigations and PolicingMs Neville is a former senior police trainer and criminal investigator. She worked for Derbyshire police for 20 years – firstly as a police officer, then as a detective, then finally as the Lead Trainer for the Initial Detective Training Programme. As a detective she dealt with serious sexual offences, particularly rape, and so her research focuses on this area. She has recently begun a PhD, for which she is exploring the use of restorative justice for domestic abuse crimes.

Thanks to excellent feedback from her students, Angie has recently been awarded University of Derby Lecturer of the Year 2015.

Policing is not just the domain of the police; the responsibility for policing and civil society touches many other organisations and public offices.

“Against this backdrop it becomes increasingly important for policing services to not only become more responsive to the ‘here and now’ but also to consider the future and its needs. Therefore police leaders must use new thinking and develop new solutions to often recurring challenges.

“Our leadership training and education within the Institute seeks to incorporate professional, personal and business skills, and recognises the need for collaborative and thought leadership, since policing is increasingly delivered through partnerships. Policing can no longer be considered in isolation; our world has become more interconnected. The Institute promises to be at the forefront of this new thinking and aims to secure a greater evidence base for policing and police responses, generated by the highest quality research.”

How do you think the Institute and its partners can benefit from working together?“Our distinctive approach is based upon a collaborative outlook that seeks to frame policing within a relationship model. By that I mean that we believe policing is not just the domain of the police; the responsibility for policing and civil society touches many other organisations and public offices.

“Therefore we embrace concepts such as partnership, privatisation, pluralisation and internationalisation and these are integrated into our programmes and overall strategy. By thinking things through in a more joined up and interconnected way and by bringing global partners together, we will encourage a new understanding of different, and sometimes competing, perspectives on the challenges facing policing.”

What is your role within the Institute?“My title is Head of Leadership Education and I’m also a deputy director for the Institute. In practice this means that I lead the MSc in Police Leadership, Strategy and Organisation and develop partnership and business relationships across all sectors involved in policing and justice.

“Whilst my interests are broad, my research for the Institute will be focused upon how the police work in partnership with other organisations and also around the topic of leadership.”

What have been your key successes or achievements in the field of policing?“In my policing career, I was very proud to gain the rank of chief superintendent with Staffordshire Police and also to be selected to serve as a staff officer with Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary. I inspected police forces throughout England and Wales against the backdrop of the UK Government’s police reform agenda.”

“I’m currently undertaking doctoral studies, examining how the police operate within the context of partnerships, so in future, I hope to be able to provide new information about this topic and add a PhD to my list of achievements!”

What do you think are the greatest challenges and opportunities facing international policing today?“Policing is undergoing a radical transformation in the UK and internationally, driven by the desire for greater public accountability, the importance of community partnership and a growing crisis in police legitimacy.

What do you think are the greatest challenges and opportunities facing policing and justice today?“My experience is largely with the UK police force but most of their biggest challenges are international ones: trying to tackle globalised criminal networks, human trafficking, the expansion of child sexual exploitation due to the internet, keeping up with advances in technology and the ever-changing threats of cybercrime. The police constantly have to update their skillset to be able to effectively deal with new crimes.” What was it like winning the University’s Lecturer of the Year award 2015?“It was a very proud moment; I was truly honoured. The students who voted for me said it was because I was passionate about my subject and because I taught in a lively and interactive way. I use group work, role-play scenarios, guest speakers and trips – for example to custody suites – to bring to life the subject. We have a look at what academia says and then explore what it means in practice.

“This approach is actually something that has stayed with me from my time in the police force; as police trainers we were taught to take a student-centred learning approach. So I follow the same model here at the University and it seems to be working!”

What is your role within the Institute?“I’m Lecturer in Criminal Investigations and Policing. I teach on the MSc Criminal Investigation, so many of my students are police officers from the United Arab Emirates (see pages 10-13 on UAE links.) I also teach on our new undergraduate policing degree.”

What is your professional background and experience?“I’m a former senior police trainer and criminal investigator. I was with Derbyshire police for 20 years – firstly as a police officer, then as a detective, then finally as a trainer of police officers (I was the Lead Trainer for the Initial Detective Training Programme.) I decided to go into lecturing in 2009 and started working at the University of Derby.

“Having been a police officer, I know there’s often a gap between academia and on-the-ground policing. However, there is plenty of research out there that can help police officers with their day-to-day jobs, so I hope that lecturers like me can be the bridge between these two worlds. Research is crucial because it explains why you should follow a particular model or not.

“Since working in academia, I’ve had the time to step back and see the gaps in my knowledge and then read others’ research or undertake my own research in order to fill these gaps. This has been truly fascinating.

“As a detective I dealt with serious sexual offences, particularly rape, and so my research has focused on this area. For my Masters in Criminal Investigation I researched why sexual offences are so difficult to successfully prosecute, and for my PhD, which I’ve just begun, I will be exploring the use of restorative justice for domestic abuse crimes.”

Licensing Authority (part of the UK Government). Recently I was in Philadelphia in the US delivering a session for their police force. Furthermore, my work has been translated into training for detectives in countries as diverse as Norway and China.”

What do you think are the greatest challenges and opportunities facing international policing today?“The increasing pressure to ensure policing is carried out with openness, democracy and with respect for international standards of human rights will be a big challenge; not only for developing countries with relatively new police forces, but for more established countries also.

“For example, the 2008 European Court directive, which made it mandatory for suspects to see a legal representative before the police can question them, has not yet been adopted by all the nations in the European Economic Area (EEA).”

How do you think the Institute and its partners can benefit from working together?“The Institute will bring together a range of individuals and organisations so that we can discuss these challenges in an open forum and try to develop a new era of policing. Through our research, we can address questions as fundamental as: ‘Do we need a police force in the UK?’ Building on our existing track record, we hope to lead the debate around policing on a national and international scale.”

What is your role within the Institute?“I’m the Lead for Research which means that it’s my job to encourage staff to undertake applied research that makes a real impact on the world. I develop the research strategy, support and encourage research efforts, and look to form associations with external partners.

“I believe that universities must be knowledge constructors, not just knowledge dispensers.This is what separates us from the further education sector. We can then bring this new knowledge into the classroom so that the people we teach benefit and learn something that they wouldn’t get elsewhere. Research and the publication of external peer-reviewed material is also vital because it’s how we test our own ideas and thinking.”

What is your professional background and experience? “Before becoming an academic, I spent over 20 years working in government departments: first as an investigator, then as a trainer of investigators, and finally, as a manager of investigation teams.

“While I was working I did some part-time teaching but I began my full-time career in lecturing at the University of Derby in 2006.”

What have been your key successes or achievements in the field of policing?“My area of expertise is helping police and non-police investigators use new techniques to interview victims, witnesses and suspects. My research in this field has expanded my knowledge so I’ve been able to introduce new ideas and approaches that have improved the task of interviewing in this country and abroad.”

“Through this work, I’ve helped raise the profile of the University of Derby internationally. For example, I’ve been asked to do training for the International Criminal Court in The Hague, and for the Gangmasters

a special constable, at the same time as undertaking their undergraduate degree. This makes graduates more attractive to the police force and enables them to get their policing career underway quicker.”

What do you think are the greatest challenges and opportunities facing policing today?“There are a number of challenges. We still see issues around accountability and I am not convinced that police and crime commissioners (introduced in 2012) are the answer.

“I think that the recent cuts in policing have and continue to make an impact and I think that the police are really stretched at the moment. The amalgamation of forces in Scotland may provide a model for regionalisation of English and Welsh forces and over the next decade I think that the policing map will significantly change.

“I also think that we still have issues around the policing of a diverse society and there remains a crisis in confidence within certain communities. Overall, the many attempts to make the police service representative of the population it serves, have failed.

“In terms of opportunities, I think that there are still a number of partnership opportunities that the police can explore around new ways of working and, as a researcher, I find the emphasis on evidence-based policing refreshing.” How do you think the Institute and its partners can benefit from working together?“I look forward to working with partners on research projects, as well as on education and training, so we can establish real best practice and become a centre for excellence. By working with forces from across a number of countries, we can ensure this best practice is international and therefore more valuable to all parties.”

What is your role within the Institute?“I am Deputy Director of the Institute and Lead for UK Policing. As Deputy Director, I make sure I have an oversight of all the Institute’s business so I’m ready to step in when the Head of Institute is unavailable. As the Lead for UK Policing, I drive forward the links between the Institute and UK police forces to establish the Institute as a leader in the field of policing research and education.” What is your professional background and experience? “I have worked within the criminal justice sector in various capacities for over 30 years. I started my working life as a City of London police officer. Since then I have continued to work very closely with the police in a number of roles: probation, the youth court, Nottingham’s Crime and Drug Partnership, research, and as an independent member of Nottinghamshire Police Authority right up until 2012. I currently sit on the Audit and Scrutiny Committee of Nottinghamshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner.

“My research interests include policing, drugs, young people, partnership working, and probation.” What have been your key successes or achievements in the field of policing? “Working with Kevin Bampton and Mark Flint-Freel, I was instrumental in establishing an accredited police cadet training programme – a partnership between the University of Derby and Nottinghamshire Police. Known as the Foundation in Policing, it’s a two-year programme enabling cadets to achieve a level 3 qualification and progress on to university degrees in subjects like criminology and policing. It is the only university accredited cadet scheme that I am aware of.

“I also established the basis for a pre-qualification scheme at this University as well as my previous University. This will mean that aspiring police officers can gain required police competencies and experience as

Derby city at night

Where is Derby?

37

Home to 250,000 people, Derby is a small city located in the heart of the UK. It’s the UK’s most central city and is easy to get to:• 1½ hours to London by train• 4 hours to Paris by train• 10 minutes to the M1 by car• 20 minutes to East Midlands Airport by car.

World-famous attractionsThe city is on the edge of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Derwent Valley, which contains a series of 18th and 19th century cotton mills and an industrial landscape of high historical and technological interest. It’s also close to the Peak District National Park, which contains almost 1,500 square kilometers of beautiful countryside and magnificent stately homes, such as Chatsworth Estate, home to the Duke of Devonshire, Chancellor of the University of Derby.

History of innovation Derby was founded in around 873 AD so it has plenty of historic buildings – a medieval cathedral, Tudor public houses, Georgian townhouses – as well as cutting-edge modern British architecture. It has been at the heart of innovation and manufacturing for centuries: clocks in the 17th century; textiles and porcelain in the 18th century; railway infrastructure in the 19th century; and then cars and aircrafts in the 20th century. Derby remains the home of global brands such as Rolls-Royce, Toyota, Bombardier and Royal Crown Derby, and is now also a leading high-tech city.

“Derby is an attractive, small city and a good place to study. English people are the friendliest and very polite; they are always offering help. I’m glad I came here to study.”Rashed Alderei, a trainee police officer from the UAE who’s studying the MSc Criminal Investigation here

DERBY

The International Policing and Justice Institute is part of the University of Derby, a modern, innovative education provider that achieved its university status in 1992. Teaching at our Derby site actually dates back to 1851, when it was a Diocesan Institution for Training, so we have over 160 years of expertise in education.

We pride ourselves on offering:

• A high quality education to individuals and businesses, which is relevant to today’s world and ensures graduates are well equipped to lead successful careers.

• Research that directly informs our teaching or provides solutions for businesses.

• A more personal experience. We have a greater staff to student ratio than many other UK universities – over 85% of classes have fewer than 30 students – so we can spend more time supporting our students.

• Experiential learning, where our students put into practice everything they learn – often in excellent real-world facilities.
