This opportunity funds a consortium to develop novel, dynamic methods for real-time measurement of public trust and confidence in policing. The project emphasizes engaging underrepresented groups such as children under 18 and victims of violence against women and girls. It supports piloting policing interventions to identify effective approaches for building trust. The consortium will collaborate across academia, policing, community groups, and industry to co-produce scalable, affordable tools and contribute to a Public Confidence in Policing Playbook.
Eligible applicants include UK-based public sector, non-profit, and private sector organizations. Project leads must be based at UK research organizations eligible for UKRI funding. International researchers may participate as co-leads or collaborators.
