N8 PRP seeks to create a broad platform for collaboration on policing research, with links to and support for research centres, public bodies, and other relevant organisations. 

 

The College of Policing is a professional body for everyone working across policing. It is an operationally independent arm’s-length body of the Home Office. The College has a wealth of resources and support for policing research, practice, and career development, including bursaries, evaluation tools, professional guidance, and the National Police Library. A representative from the College sits on the N8 PRP’s Steering Group.
