Policing is
undergoing far-reaching transformations in terms of rapidly changing crime
types, diverse public expectations and technological developments that will
continue to alter the ways in which policing is done.
What opportunities will you have in a Professional Policing degree?
Our exciting degree
programme in Policing will offer a unique insight into contemporary law
enforcement, the role of the Police in society, and the challenges they face.
Key to the transformation of policing is the better development and application
of research evidence, science and analysis to generate new approaches to
established and emerging law enforcement activity.
