<H1>Introduction</H1>
The Police Science and Research Programme is an independent section of the Police Academy’s Knowledge Network. It was launched in 1999, at the time within the context of a subsidy scheme offered by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK), with a three-fold mission: <br>
<br>
<H2>to contribute towards the development of scientific knowledge with respect to the organisation, function and performance of the police in a changing democratic society </H2>
<H2>to promote the actual application of relevant new knowledge and understanding of police and safety practice, policy and training </H2>
<H2>to promote and maintain an effective and appropriate research and knowledge infrastructure to facilitate research in the field of police science and the development of theories.</H2>
<br>
This mission links up perfectly with the statutory core task of the Police Academy, to serve as a knowledge centre of and for the police. <br>
The development of knowledge within PS&RP is realized via the long-term research programme, which is updated every year. This is done partly on the basis of a public tender for priority research themes, the Call, which is published annually. The results of the research relating to the long-term programme are reflected in research reports and other publications which can be publiched in one of our series of publications: Police Science, Police Skills and P&S Explorations. <br>
<br>
The dissemination transfer of knowledge proceeds in a number of different ways: putting new methods or instruments into practice in police forces, the active distribution of our (research) publications among stakeholders and anyone with an interest, regular follow-up activities such as (working) conferences, briefings and workshops and, of course, new training programmes. <br><br>
The construction and expansion of an appropriate knowledge infrastructure is promoted by the fact that all of our research projects are outsourced to qualified researchers and research institutions – this can be universities, but also research institutions associated with the government or privatel research agencies. An extra boost is provided by ‘mini-programmes’: these are long-term research programmes on a certain theme, which is looked at in more detail, and whereby a more long-term relationship is established with a qualified research institution, or a multidisciplinary partnership involving several institutions, that is known with proven special knowledge and expertise. <br>
<br>
<br>
<H1>About Police Science & Research Programme (PS&RP) > General</H1>
‘The Police Science & Research Programme’ (PS&RP) is an independent section of the Police Academy’s Knowledge Network. This network, which includes the Police Knowledge Net and a growing number of lectureships, fleshes out the Police Academy’s statutory duty as a knowledge centre of and for the police. The independent status of PS&RP within this Knowledge Network is a consequence of the importance of the independence, integrity and public nature of scientific research. <br>
<br>
Although the PS&RP programme of activities covers more than this, the programming and implementation of the long-term research programme is at its core. This research programme is updated every year, partly on the basis of the annual Call: the public tender for a number of priority research themes. Research reports and other special publications will be, in principle, published in one of our series of publications: Police Science, Police Skills and P&S Explorations. <br>
<br>
The main target groups include the police, government departments, local authorities, the semi-government sector and the broad range of research institutions and agencies. <br>
