The Global Observatory
Coming soon! The Global Observatory will go 'live' during 2026. For the first time, the online Observatory will bring together data, research, and best practices about volunteer policing worldwide.
Mapping volunteering worldwide
When it goes live in 2026, the Observatory will for the first time map data on volunteer programmes internationally. By doing so, it will show the scale and diversity of volunteers in policing and community safety worldwide.
Bringing together research and best practices
The Observatory will also from 2026, for the first time, bring together the evidence base for volunteer policing worldwide.
