2 2012 CEPOL Police Research and Science Conference CEPOL the European Police College is committed to raising the profile of police science in Europe and bridging the gap between operational policing and academic study and analysis. The Annual CEPOL Police Research and Science Conference brings together the various stakeholders of the police science community to present and discuss current practice for the advancement of police science in Europe and the role of evidence-based knowledge in policing methodologies. Five years on from the publication of Police Science Perspectives: Towards a European Approach, the 2012 Annual Police Research and Science Conference will reignite the initiative behind the 2007 report to take stock of the state of police science in Europe. The conference aims to highlight some on-going police science projects in Europe, the progress made in answering the key questions from 2007, and the prospects for the future. The three-day conference is open to police researchers, scientists, practitioners and educators. The conference will offer many opportunities for networking and exchanges of information, as well as giving participants the chance to showcase their own projects in an informal setting. Speakers include police science and research experts from across Europe, as well as practicing police officers who will demonstrate the impact and effectiveness that police science has on daily work. European Police Science : The key questions In 2005, six police science experts sought to find answers to a set of key questions, including: Is there a common European understanding of police, policing, police philosophy and the role of the police in society? Is there a common European understanding and definition of police science? Is there a European way to assemble thoughts and contributions from policing, law and social sciences? Is there a way for better integration of police science and police practice? How can results from European police science be implemented into training and courses for senior police officers? In 2012, conference participants will ponder the development of and future prospects for a European approach to police science.
