Policing Collaboration Development Event

TYP-ACE and IAA York engagement event to explore best ways of working across academia and policing. Please book your place through Eventbrite.

TYP-ACE and the York IAA 'Vulnerability and Social Justice' theme, are excited to be holding an engagement and collaboration event at the Grand hotel in York to facilitate connections between academic and policing partners, explore effective ways of working together, and discuss how to successfully co-create meaningful projects and outputs.This engagement event aims to connect academic researchers and policing partners, explore policing priorities, the process of engaging policing, developing an effective Partnership, and discuss how to co‑create meaningful research projects and outputs.


The workshop will be valuable both for researchers new to working with policing partners and those with existing experience in this field. Researchers from all disciplines are welcome.
TYP‑ACE priority areas include:

  • Crime Prevention (eg VAWG and gender‑based violence, youth crime, modern slavery, criminal exploitation, safer public spaces)
  • Public Trust (minimum policing standards, organisational culture, public perceptions, marginalised and minoritised communities)
  • Data Analytics (multi‑agency data linkage, spatio‑temporal crime analysis, NLP and AI methods)
  • Climate Change (emergency preparedness, resilience, sustainability, net‑zero policing)

Speakers will include representatives from TYP‑ACE, the National Police Chiefs’ Council, and regional evidence‑based policing teams.
