Current radical changes in the Police service internationally and in England and Wales
are being driven by movements to adopt an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) approach to
policing. However this poses a challenge as early adopters have experienced resistance
to EBP, a relatively unknown, and more importantly misunderstood approach for policing
(Sherman, 2015). This resistance is not limited to police with international research
highlighting implementation issues for evidence based medicine (Altman, 1996; Fairhurst
& Dowrick, 1996; Murphy and Adams, 2005), evidence based management (Adams & Sasse,
1999; Rousseau, 2012), and evidence based teaching (Beista, 2007, Perry & Smart, 2007;
Adams & Clough, 2015). One reason is the lack of training in EBP, which is coupled
with recent concerns over the general quality of training and level of professionalism
within UK police organisation (Davies et al, 1996). There have been international
initiatives aimed at increasing learning around evidence based practice (Rousseau,
2012; Hall and Roussel, 2014). Some UK police forces have adopted approaches from
other domains to counteract these problems (e.g. champions, enquiry visits). Mapping
clear pathways that link training, experience and evidence-based practice is crucial
to developing the capacity for an evidence-based workforce. This paper presents evidence
from recent research that used Evidence Cafés and Practitioner Cafés connected to
online resources as a route to increase understanding and awareness of evidence based
practice amongst frontline police officers. Evidence Cafés are coordinated by a knowledge
exchange expert with an academic and a police practitioner who facilitate the translation
of research into practice. This paper presents evidence of the benefit and limitations
of these events. Analytics and learning analytics of events’ online resources also
provide insights into these approaches and identify triggers for increased engagement
across a wide geographical context. |
