Events

In posing fundamental questions and promoting debate on contemporary policing issues, The Police Foundation aims to stimulate new ideas and challenge existing policies and practices outside (but still involving) government and the police service.  Our lectures and events provide a forum for academics, practitioners, policy makers and the general public to debate these important issues.

The Police Foundation, together with the Oxford University's Centre for Criminology, host the Oxford Policing Policy Forum which meets twice a year.  A group of invited academics, police officers and policy makers come together to freely debate contemporary policing issues at All Souls College.

The Police Foundation's annual John Harris Memorial Lecture has, since 1983, been an ideal platform for a long line of distinguished speakers to speak out on important policing issues of the day.  This year's was delivered by Sir Paul Stephenson QPM, Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis.
