Bringing together contributors from the US, Australia and Europe, the conference was Chaired by Paddy Tomkins, Director of Droman Ltd and former Chief Inspector of Constabulary for Scotland, and focused on the challenges of transforming information into intelligence, the importance of targeting interventions, and different approaches to enhancing trust and confidence in policing.
With inputs from senior figures from government, policing, industry and the research community, the conference addressed the challenges that face policing, and provided insights into potential policy and technological solutions.
Building on the success of the conferences held in 2011 and 2012, and set against the backdrop of one of the most radical reforms to policing in Europe that saw the creation of a single, national police service for Scotland in April 2013, this international event provided an important space in which to learn about the changes that had taken place in the first 8 months of the new force and future developments, as well as share new ideas and develop international networks.
