Scottish International Policing Conference

Delivered by the Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR), the conference brings together policing professionals, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and partners from the UK and internationally.

The 2026 theme, Police Academic Partnerships, will focus on how collaboration between policing and academia can support evidence informed practice, innovation, and impact across policing and public safety.

The conference will run from 9am to 4.30/5pm and will include keynote sessions, chaired discussions, and opportunities for engagement and networking.
