SEMINAR

Chief Constable Noble will offer an experienced senior leader's perspective on the future of Public Order in the UK, complemented by an academic reflection and an interactive session to engage the audience's thoughts and perspectives. He will discuss the recent history of UK Public Order and Public Safety (POPS) policing and how it has shaped current approaches. He will also outline the current and emerging challenges, showcasing UK risk and threat assessment methodologies, and suggest what the near and medium future might hold, describing likely challenges and necessary responses. Professor Stott will assess the current state of UK POPS policing, examining the key elements of the UK POPS model that have evolved over time, and will provide insight into what the future may bring and how policing responses should be proportionate. The session will conclude with an interactive discussion to capture audience responses, explore views on the key future challenges for policing disorder and protest, and gather opinions on how policing should best prepare and respond for such a future.
