The Yorkshire Policing Academic Centre of Excellence (TYP-ACE) combines multi-disciplinary research and innovation from the University of Leeds and the University of York to equip police and partners across the UK with the best research evidence available to drive forward a culture change in policing.
TYP-ACE is one of nine Policing Academic Centres of Excellence (P-ACEs) funded by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) in partnership with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Each P-ACE is promoted across the policing sector as an accessible source of leading academic experts aligned with Policing’s Areas of Research Interest (ARIs) and evidence needs.
TYP-ACE acts as a vital link between academics and UK police, making sure that policing is guided by the latest scientific evidence. By working in partnership, TYP-ACE enables leading researchers across the universities of Leeds and York to innovate and challenge existing practices to improve public safety. It provides national and international leadership in some of the most pressing issues in policing, including crime prevention, public trust, analytics and climate change.
By using high-quality social science with data analysis and expertise from other disciplines across both institutions, the Centre helps policing prepare for future challenges, including workforce and training needs. It also advances a better understanding of what works, where, for whom, and under what circumstances.
