The NTU-PACE brings together 15 policing, industry and community partners to translate research findings into actionable, transferable, and sustainable policy interventions. It will consolidate and expand its already extensive experience of working with police and industrial partners to mobilise knowledge and co-create dissemination materials in a format that is accessible to police and their stakeholders, and translate research findings into actionable policy and practice. The NTU P-ACE will implement fast-track knowledge mobilisation through multiple digital platforms to support an inclusive and diverse approach to accessibility, and develop sustainable, evidence-informed approaches to advance the effectiveness of UK policing.
