Trust and Confidence in Policing Research and Innovation Consortium

This funding opportunity supports a research and innovation consortium to develop and test innovative tools and approaches for measuring public trust and confidence in policing. The project will create new standardised measures that provide real-time data to police forces and test policing interventions across at least four pilot areas. Key focus areas include capturing views from underrepresented communities, children under 18 years old, and victims of violence against women and girls. Successful applicants will establish metrics that enable police to better understand and respond to public perceptions, ultimately improving policing practices and community relationships. This is a consortium-based opportunity suitable for research institutions, policing bodies, and organizations with expertise in public engagement and data measurement.
