This study evening will be held in English, given the co-organization with the Norwegian Police University College.
Rapid technological changes create both opportunities and challenges for police education and training. This means that how we understand and use technology in police training today will forge the policing professional of tomorrow. Join us for this study evening in The Hague where we explore a set of questions on the theme of Technology and Police Training. How can we leverage VR technology to enhance police training and education? What are the challenges and risks induced by AI technology that future professionals should be aware of? How to conceptualize technological agency to avoid the risk of deprofessionalisation? How to train reflective practitioners who can critically engage with the technologies they use?
With the accelerating development of technologies, it is vital to reflect on the relationship between their affordances and police education and training across a variety of contexts. This event features academics and practitioners from The Netherlands and Norway and aims to elicit comparative discussions and cross fertilization with a European scope. Whether you're a researcher, practitioner, policymaker, or trainer, this event offers a platform to reflect and envision the future of professional policing in the digital age.
