The Global Policing Database (GPD) is a comprehensive and easy-to-use repository of high-quality research on policing. The database includes over 7,000 studies dating back to 1950 and is updated to include the most current research on any topic related to police work. The goal of the GPD is to facilitate quick access to the most rigorous scientific research conducted on policing to practitioners and academics using a simple web-based platform. The GPD is managed in partnership with the University of Queensland. Learn more about the Global Policing Database here.
