| Welcome to the Evidence-Based Policing Hall of Fame. The Hall recognizes innovative law enforcement practitioners who have been central to the implementation of a high quality research program in their affiliated agency, highlighting individual excellence in both using and conducting policing research.
These champions of evidence-based policing help to make high-quality police scholarship possible and their efforts advance our knowledge of the field.
Membership Requirements:
1. Nominees must be or have been a police practitioner, either sworn or civilian; and
2. Nominees must have been central to the implementation of a documented rigorous scientific evaluation in their affiliated agency in which a police intervention, tactic, strategy, or deployment was tested for effectiveness; and
3. Nominees must show a record of incorporating evidence-based practices in their agency. The types of evidence-based practices can be, for example, those strategies that have characteristics of interventions that fall within the “realms of effectiveness” of the Evidence-Based Policing Matrix (Lum, Koper, and Telep, 2009).
To nominate an individual or individuals, please click here and fill out the preliminary questionnaire. Selection decisions will be made by the Directors and Coordinator of the Evidence-Based Policing Research Program, with guidance from Advisory Board members when needed.
