Pandemic Effects on Law Enforcement Training & Practice:
Taking early stock from a research perspective
Date: 5 – 7 May 2021
The emergence of the Coronavirus and its pandemic spread across the globe has had a dramatic effect not only on the daily routines of citizens in general, but also on the work of police and other law enforcement bodies and officials in particular. In response, CEPOL had organised the agency’s first public online European Research & Science Conference in partnership with Mykolas Romeris University
(Lithuania) for taking stock what scientific analysis and research insights were available in late spring 2021.
Difficult decisions had to be taken, experiences have been made institutionally, collectively and on the individual officer’s level, and early lessons have been learned about policing and enforcing the law in pandemic times. COVID has not gone away since – on the contrary, new mutations seem to trigger new pandemic waves and with that a recurrence of the challenges for law enforcement and society in large.
While a selection of presentations* has been published in the format of full articles in the Special Conference Edition Nr. 5 of the European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin, we are delighted to share the original recordings of a range of presentations provided here on the public website.
*Additional contributions from the conference event for restricted access are available on LEEd (registration required).

CEPOL Research and Science Conferences
Since 2003, the CEPOL Research & Science Conferences provide a stimulating intellectual environment that brings together ideas and perspectives of practitioners, trainers and educators in policing and other areas of law enforcement, with researchers and academic scholars from Europe and the international sphere. Participants of this forum can inform and be informed about new scientific findings, ongoing research projects and challenges for police and policing. Papers discussed during CEPOL Research and Science Conferences are published in a special Conference edition, so that ideas and knowledge can be shared within the law enforcement community, fostering and facilitating broader discussions and becoming a source of inspiration for the future.
