Police Science is research done in the field of policing and related areas.

These could include forensics (e. g. DNA, fingerprints), forensic psychology (e. g. assessing and treating offenders), investigative psychology (e. g. using offenders’ behaviour to help identify them), criminology (e. g. the study of crime and how to deal with it), criminal justice (what to do with offenders once they have been convicted), etc.

Usually, research is done and then published by academics in the form of academic articles, published in academic journals. The problem with that is that most police practitioners cannot access those articles. Police Science Dr turns some of that knowledge into media every practitioner can get- videos (Watch) , podcast episodes (Listen), transcripts (Read).
