Enabling an Evidence Based Approach to Policing Football

Geoff Pearson and Clifford Stott worked with 6 forces and the College of Policing to identify and develop best practice in policing domestic football. Officers were trained in observational research to review match-day operations. The report (Policing Jan 2018), finds current approaches increase the risk of public disorder, recommending changes to risk assessment, dialogue, and focusing on supporters’ rights.
