How can the police service equip its workforce to tackle crime in an age where it is being transformed by new technology and wider social change?

The Police Foundation’s 11th annual conference will form part of our Strategic Review of Policing which aims to set out substantial recommendations for a modern police service capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century.

Delegates will have the opportunity to make a contribution to the Review through their input in Q&A sessions.

The conference will take place online (via Zoom) and will feature some of the UK's leading thinkers and practitioners on policing. Delegates who are unable to attend on day the will receive a replay of the event.
