CEPOL 2017 Research and Science Conference
INNOVATIONS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT -
Implications for practice, education and civil society
Date: 28 – 30 November 2017
Venue: National University of Public Service
, Budapest, Hungary
The guiding theme for the 14th edition of the CEPOL Research and Science Conference, jointly organised with the Hungarian National University of Public Service in Budapest, was “Innovation”: how new ideas, technologies, concept - and new forms of crime and deviance - form and shape law enforcement institutions, like police, customs, border guards, prosecution and courts, and their demands for training and education today and in the future.
As before, the CEPOL 2017 Research and Science Conference will convene practitioners in policing and other areas of law enforcement, trainers, educators and scientific scholars from Europe and the international sphere. The roughly 220 participants, mainly from Europe, but also from Canada, Hong Kong, Thailand, Ukraine and the United States, attended more than 80 presentations, including poster sessions and practical demonstrations of advanced training hard- and software.
Plenary keynotes were delivered by

CONFERENCE THEME
As in tradition, the CEPOL 2017 Research and Science Conference had brought together practitioners in policing and other areas of law enforcement, trainers, educators and leading scientific scholars from Europe and beyond.
The topical focus of the event was on innovations in law enforcement, examined through the lens of scientific research and academic study and looking at the implications from three different angles:
- from the point of view of the police or law enforcement officers;
- from the point of view of the teachers, trainers, educators in the law enforcement education systems;
- from the point of the citizens, who will be subject to and beneficiaries of innovative law enforcement practices.
The conference organisers had invited presentations, preferably based on recent empirical research or academic study, addressing the following areas and lead questions:
- Which are the emerging innovations in society that are prompting a response from the law enforcement community, both in terms of adapting strategies and tactics, as well as the law enforcement educational requirements?
- What are the expectable implications, benefits, risks or potential ramifications of introducing certain new technologies (gadgets or systems), organisational or operational concepts for doing law enforcement work in a new, innovative manner? Is it different for innovations that are driven or imposed by the outside environment as opposed to those that are emerging from “inside”? Where and when have law enforcement innovations failed and what lessons have been learned so far?
- Which educational innovations will have significant impact on the training and education of law enforcement officials on the various levels of the organisations – and why?
- Some innovations in law enforcement are received with great sympathy and endorsement, some with lesser enthusiasm by members of the civil society. What has to be taken into account in the management of the innovation process so a particular innovation is not perceived as ineffective, undue, unfair or even illegal? Are there innovative ways to manage a confrontation between the innovators and the preservers?
The two and a half day conference took place in Budapest, generously hosted by the Hungarian National University of Public Service. The organisation relied on its proven format of focusing on professional information exchange and facilitation of networking amongst the participants from different continents, countries and institutions.
