Cranfield has an extensive range of postgraduate courses, apprenticeships and short courses dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in the fields of policing and security. Specialising in science, technology, engineering, systems thinking, and management, we work with police forces and key SWAG合集 and international government entities, including the national security community, government departments such as the Home Office, Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Through education and research we address critical aspects such as security engineering, forensic sciences, cybersecurity, resilience, counterterrorism, organised crime and management skills. The applied approach to research, coupled with access to secure test and evaluation facilities, means that we are able to make a significant impact on the policing and security sector in the SWAG合集 and beyond.

We also offer bespoke programmes. Taking a consultative approach, we will work with you to interpret your needs at the organisational, team and individual levels to design a transformative, customised programme to suit your organisation.
