This two-week certified training programme gives you the background and skills you need to develop and interpret geographic profiles correctly and to make actionable recommendations.

The course includes the option for you to become a fully-qualified Geographic Profiling Analyst if you complete an operational geographic profiling report within four months of the course.

This course is aimed at police intelligence analysts.

This five-day CPD course for police personnel will help equip you with the management skills required to be a leader within a modern police force.

The course draws on management lessons from the private and public sector and applies them to the modern policing environment.

It also draws on examples from the voluntary sector, which is particularly relevant given the increasing reliance of the UK police on volunteers, e.g. special constables, citizen patrols and neighbourhood watch coordinators.

The course has been developed by the Institute for Global City Policing, an independent centre based at UCL's Jill Dando Institute of Security and Crime Science.

The theme of this year’s conference is "Organised crime: the present and the future”.   

Organised crime is evolving. A problem that has long cut across geographical and cultural boundaries has now moved into the online/digital landscape, creating a new front for law enforcement. At the same time, criminal organisations continue to cause great harm by exploiting traditional business models and the intersections between different crimes, such as corruption and human trafficking or economic crime and terrorist financing.   

What are the key challenges of the day? How are those challenges evolving? What might organised crime look like ten, twenty years from now?   

This conference will showcase international research into this complex phenomena, advancing the current state of our understanding. We will look at current responses, as well as anticipate future crimes and their mitigation. The event will cover a broad range of crimes, geographies, technologies, disciplines and methods.   

The conference will bring together leading practitioners, policy-makers, technologists and academics.  

The full day programme includes lunch and ends with an evening drinks reception. 

The event is co-sponsored by the Dawes Centre for Future Crime at UCL, and the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council.
