  • 17. The story of EncroChat four years on

    In 2020, police forces across Europe helped break the encrypted communications tool EncroChat and learn about the activities of thousands of criminals, many of whom are now in jail. Four years on, we hear from journalist Mobeen Azhar who made sense of this complex case in his six part podcast series. He was joined by Matt Horne, former Deputy Director of the National Crime Agency who led the British investigation. It's a fascinating fireside chat.

  • 10. Understanding why officers leave the police and how to keep them
    Academics at the University of Portsmouth carried out interviews with police officers who have voluntarily resigned. These indicated that police officers are more likely to leave due to poor leadership, lack of promotion opportunities, organisational inflexibility and a feeling that they have no voice rather than because of pay or stress.
