Events

The 2026 N8 PRP Policing Innovation Forum will be a day of knowledge exchange and innovation. With a keynote from Gary Ritchie, researchers, police, and other stakeholders will engage with the latest research and cutting-edge, practice-led projects, to find new approaches, new research questions, and new partners for collaboration to improve how we navigate policing, people and health.

This year, N8 PRP will be joined by the Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SiPR) to examine the points at which policing and health professionals interact in the criminal justice system, and what this means for the people they are responding to.
