On Day 4 of PolicingTV’s Volunteer Week, the series spotlights a critical yet often overlooked issue: the role of volunteers in evidence-based policing. In the episode Evidence-Based Policing: The Missing Volunteers, experts explore how volunteer officers, such as special constables and auxiliary participants, receive, and sometimes miss out on formal training in evidence-informed practices. The discussion highlights how integrating volunteers into research-driven policing can improve outcomes, strengthen community trust, and ensure volunteers are equipped not just to assist but to contribute meaningfully to modern, data-driven public safety strategies.

As part of this global series celebrating policing volunteers, new stories continue to launch daily, showcasing the diverse, invaluable contributions volunteer officers make around the world.
