About £4.5m is being invested in nine new research centres to improve policing through data-driven training
The Policing Academic Centre of Excellence (P-ACE) will provide police with data evidence that will be used to "make the justice system work better", by supporting officers with adopting new techniques and boost learnings.
National Police Chief's Council is launching nine P-ACEs across the UK, including at the University of Bath.
Dr Katie Maras, from the department of psychology at the university, said: "Our aim is to develop creative, evidence-based approaches to addressing some of the key challenges in policing."
