The third conference of the Global Collaboration in Evidence Based Policing series returns in 2027 with the EPIC International Policing Conference on the 20 – 22 April 2027.
The conference theme is ‘EPIC’ – Evidence-based, Problem oriented, Intelligence enabled for Community Safety. This is the first time these disciplines have been brought together in a single conference, reflecting the broader thinking required to address complex challenges facing the frontline. This conference provides an opportunity to develop the best insights to support a prevention-focused approach that is genuinely world-leading and delivers operational impact.
Evidence-Based Policing (EBP) has continued to grow globally, ensuring that policing strategy, operations, and tactics are based on what works, according to data, evidence, and research. Rather than being guided by assumptions, tradition, convention, or subjective impressions, EBP combines the existing skills, knowledge, and experience of police with data-led research, crime science, problem-solving and testing to draw out the best possible insights to support decision making.
The 2027 conference will sharply focus on:
These key subthemes will provide delegates with the most up to date and best available data, evidence, and insight into each area. It is anticipated that over 180 delegates will attend this conference from across Australia, New Zealand and around the world. Delegates will represent our various policing agencies, our researchers and representatives from other agencies working in partnership with the police and their agencies to reduce crime and improve community safety.
The Australia New Zealand conference will run April 20 – 22 and be held at Deakin University Downtown in Melbourne’s CBD, with a range of exciting networking functions scheduled to accompany formal presentations. We will be holding a networking event on the first evening, and a formal conference dinner and awards night at one of Melbourne’s iconic venues, the Long Room at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, following day two.
The third conference day will provide an optional Problem Oriented Policing Masterclass alongside a Violence Reduction Symposium.
