Collaboration Drives PSO’ s Workforce Management Research and Outreach More than 50 partners comprise the PSO, including researchers, practitioners, policy experts, and students. These global partners hail from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Iceland. Their backgrounds and areas of study are similarly diverse, spanning criminal justice, criminology, public affairs and policy, business administration, organizational psychology, economics, and political science.
In addition to institutions such as New York University’ s 30X30 Initiative and the University of South Carolina’ s Excellence in Policing and Public Safety Program, the PSO collaborates with a wide network of police associations, including:
• American Society of Evidence-Based Policing( ASEBP)
• Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police( AACOP)
• Florida Police Chiefs Association( FPCA)
• Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police( GACP)
• Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police( MACP)
• National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives( NAWLEE)
• New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police( NJSACOP)
• Texas Police Chiefs Association( TPCA)
• International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training( IADLEST)
Closing Thoughts We understand that addressing contemporary police staffing challenges is easier said than done. However, by drawing on partnerships, evidence-based guidance, and sharing ideas and insights from both researchers and practitioners, these challenges can be addressed in ways that lead to meaningful, lasting impacts. The PSO appreciates the opportunity to engage with your association and looks forward to continued collaboration.
