Rigorous evidence. Co-produced tools. Open results.

M-PACE aims to support its policing partners in appreciating, developing and mobilising evidence and tools to successfully meet the challenges that they face. Via a set of co-produced knowledge mobilisation activities M-PACE will synthesise and disseminate existing evidence and tools to build the capability and capacity of the next generation of policing researchers and practitioners. With a long-standing and depth of leadership in evidence-based policing research and practice, M-PACE comprises a team of world-leading scientists and social scientists demonstrating an extensive track record of, and an on-going commitment to, meeting the research and innovation needs of policing in the UK. Through robust evaluation, innovative tools, and multi-agency collaboration, we offer a forward-facing, impact-driven approach to shaping a future-proof, accountable, and ethical policing landscape.
