Research Requests & Surveys

Posting Guidelines

From time to time users will post a request to our members to complete a survey or questionnaire for them, usually related to some university or college work.

If you have a survey that you'd like users of Police Community to complete, then please create it within this forum area. All requests will need to be approved by the Moderation Team before being visible to the members. Requests for forum users to complete surveys that are posted elsewhere will be deleted without consultation. You must enter a date that the survey or research project is due to be completed on so that we can remove it from our website once complete, this is so that users aren't left posting data to a survey that's no longer needed.

    Hello- I am a mental health awareness and first aid trainer. I am looking to expand my training to offer bespoke courses to those who encounter mental illness and trauma in their roles with the general public- plus those who at risk themselves due to proximity to trauma and stress. Two of my long term partners over the years have been police - a PC and a Detective ad so I have seen first hand the reality of mental health stresses on response officers and on the harrowing things investigative teams are exposed to. However, this was 5 years ago and back then there was little to know basically mental health training seemingly offered.Has this changed? I am int…

    I am an author in Sweden writing on a novel taking place in Great Britain. I hope there are someone who can help me on on a question I have on one of my characters. The character is newly appointed DCI, Detective Chief Inspector, and my question is how old a police officer is at the minimum to have been appointed DCI? My own reserch show a detective William Taylor (born 1947), joined the Metropolitan police in London 1966. He later joined CID as a detective constable and served there to 1976, at age of 29 when, as a Detective Chief Inspector, he was transferred to Scotland Yard. Is it possible to reach the rank of DCI younger than this example? Best regards David Keel…

    Good morning all New to this forum and was wondering if I there was anyone on here willing to have a chat with me about police procedure in the 1970's? Currently brainstorming for an upcoming novel and I want the detail to be as razor sharp as possible. The book would chart a spate of murders across Greater Manchester and the Pennines in the 1970's with a view to crossing over into the Ripper investigation. Happy to meet up for chat, correspond over email or just a good old fashioned chat on the phone. Willing to speak to anyone with knowledge or experience of being on the force at that time. Thanks in advance folks. I apologise in advance if I have broken any r…

    I am an author of 4 books to date and currently undertaking research for my latest book. As I am utterly unfamiliar of policing methods and procedures in your region I am hoping either yourself or someone else may be of assistance in providing me with certain background information. My new story, The Archer's Diary, takes place in and around Hay-on-Wye and involves a number of murders and the discovery of a cache of ancient 'treasure.' I pride myself on the accuracy of my stories so, for my new book, I'm looking to learn of the general/basic procedures i…

    Hi, I’m a Policing student and I have been asked to identify the importance of the above as viewed by officers themselves. I would be very grateful for any input people would like to make. It would be wonderful to know why assertiveness and negotiating skills are important to you and how you use these in your work. It would also be really beneficial for me to know what the pitfalls can be too. Thank you for your time.

The research will be written within the Forensic Psychology community and will aid with understanding how to work with children in the CJS. I of course have much more information s…
