Research Programmes

The Met Federation is supporting a major new research project into the most effective techniques for verbally persuading difficult-to-control people offenders, drunks, drug users, the mentally ill and the developmentally impaired to co-operate.

The research will be conducted mainly in London by the Force Science Research Centre, which is based in Minnesota, US. It will be led by the Centre's head, Prof Bill Lewinski, whose ground-breaking investigation of human behavior in firearms incidents was called on to exonerate the officers involved in the Harry Stanley shooting.

The Centre has been supported by the Federation on previous projects designed to enhance officer training.
