About the Project

This project, funded by Lincolnshire Police, is an exciting opportunity to spend three years empirically assessing the policing education qualification framework (PEQF). This assessment will involve following a cohort of police trainees in Lincolnshire Police and conducting focus groups, surveys and interviews. You will also be comparing your results with research, to be conducted by you, in another comparable police force. The successful candidate would ideally have a practical awareness of criminal justice, although expertise in policing is not required. Previous experience of conducting empirical research is desirable, but not essential.
