Greg Tansill, Detective Chief Inspector from Dorset Police joined us for the latest issue of #GoingEquipped to share his research on procedural justice.

Chiefs, let’s take the lead in reimagining training for the modern challenges of policing. A police jiu-jitsu program is more than a skillset—it’s a mindset shift toward safer, smarter, and more compassionate law enforcement. Why it matters: Reduces injuries during arrests. Prioritizes safe, controlled techniques for officers and the public. Promotes de-escalation and professionalism in every encounter. This program demonstrates our commitment to modern, compassionate policing.

Honoring Our Protectors: Celebrating National Police Week 2024 🚓 This week, we honor the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to keeping our communities safe – our police officers.  National Police Week (May 12th – 18th, 2024) is a time to recognize their commitment, sacrifice, and unwavering service. Why are police officers vital? - Maintaining Law and Order: They respond to emergencies, investigate crimes, and ensure public safety through their proactive presence. - Building Trust and Community Relations: Good police work builds bridges between law enforcement and the communities they serve. - Selfless Service: Officers put their lives on the line every day to protect us, often facing challenging and dangerous situations. Let's show our appreciation for our police force: - Express gratitude to an officer you know. A simple "thank you" can go a long way in showing your appreciation. - Support community policing initiatives. Programs that foster positive interactions between police and residents benefit everyone. - Advocate for fair and just policing practices. A strong police force requires a commitment to community trust and accountability. #NationalPoliceWeek #ThankAPoliceOfficer #LawEnforcement

What an inspiring day filled with insights and reflections on race and equality in policing! 🚔✨ We delved into the barriers faced by Black, Asian, and Mixed Heritage officers and staff, and how we can start to reclaim our narrative. 📖 The importance of diversity of thought to enhance any organisation was clear, especially for policing—where every perspective matters. 🤝 Feeling safe within policing is the first step toward feeling a true sense of belonging. 🛡️ If we want to tackle racism effectively, we need to ‘turn off the tap’ before we can clean up the mess—it’s time to address the root cause. 🚰 It was great to see optimism about change! 🙌. A consideration to shifting from four pillars, Shaun White We discussed focusing on two key pillars: ‘Disproportionality’ and ‘Community Engagement’. The message was clear: don’t embark on this journey alone. There’s ‘strength in numbers’, and having supportive teammates makes all the difference. 💪👥 One thought that stood out—let’s shift from ‘allyship’ to sponsorship, championing each other’s growth and progress. It’s not about a revolution but rather an ‘evolution’, where everyone plays a part in the solution. 🌱 People in positions of power have the opportunity to ‘flip the switch’ and drive change quickly. 🔄 Let’s be brave, take that leap of faith, and start shaping the future—just like in agile project management, what we set out to achieve might change as we progress, and that’s okay. 🚀 Colin B.
