Research Opportunities
SIPR Force Liaison Group
The SIPR Force Liaison Group, Chaired by Deputy Chief Constable Neil Richardson, Strathclyde Police, meets twice
a year, and has a remit to provide a forum for effective engagement between Scotland's eight Police Forces, the SPSA, and the Knowledge Transfer Network of the Scottish Institute for Policing Research.
The objectives of the Liaison Forum are
- to provide feedback to SIPR on the effectiveness of communication with police agencies;
- to monitor and measure the impact of the Knowledge Transfer process;
- to advise on the effective impact of the research undertaken;
- to promote the research capability offered by SIPR to the Police Service and relevant partners;
- to offer advice on the relevancy on subjects for the Seminar programme;
- to offer a point of contact for practitioners within Forces and their partners with SIPR
Research proposals should be sent to the Director of SIPR, Professor Nick Fyfe, but if you a member of the Police Services and wish
to discuss your proposal with a local representative, the members of the Liaison Forum are as follows:
