Comments: Applicants must be currently employed by a police force and must be recommended by supervisory staff within their department. Grantees must have full or partial financial support from their home department. Police Fellows are not required to follow a course but must have an affiliation with an institution relevant to their research project. A letter of invitation is not required at the time of application, but the commission will wish to see evidence that an affiliation in the UK is being sought. Affiliation with a host institution must be confirmed before the grant period may begin and the proposed host should have links with the UK police force and should be appropriate for the research program. The major police training center in the UK is Bramshill College in Hampshire. Their facilities are extensive and they have previously hosted recipients of this award. Bramshill is also a useful starting point for finding affiliation elsewhere in the country and candidates are encouraged to contact them for advice on suitable locations for any particular course of study. For more information on Bramshill visit www.centrex.police.uk or contact Sarah Thompson (sarah.thompson@centrex.pnn.police.uk).
