Research Programs
Our research programs include department self-reviews, custom research and published research papers in support of an evidenced-based approach to public policy and policing.
Department Self Reviews
Department Self Reviews are analyses which any department may undertake to determine how citizens view the department and its officers, how the officers view the citizens, and how the officers view themselves and their department. For these reviews, approaches such as the use of surveys may be used to gauge personal sentiment. The surveys attempt to assess the sentiment of stakeholders such as officers, community members, business owners and students. Departments work directly with research professionals to design their self-reviews.

For these studies. tools such as the use of surveys may be conducted of personnel, citizens, and volunteers.
