ANZSEBP supports a growing professional community committed to strengthening evidence-based policing. Members gain opportunities to connect with peers, engage with research, contribute ideas and learn from policing professionals, academics, researchers and practitioners across Australia and New Zealand.

Through the Society’s professional network, publications, events and member initiatives, ANZSEBP helps create meaningful opportunities for shared learning, professional growth and collaboration.

ANZSEBP helps strengthen the bridge between research and real-world policing practice. Through publications and knowledge-sharing platforms, the Society supports the exchange of research, practitioner insight and emerging evidence that can inform decisions, improve understanding and support better practice.

A key part of this work is Police Science, ANZSEBP’s peer-reviewed journal, which provides a platform for Australasian police officers, academics and researchers to contribute research and professional insight aligned with the evidence-based policing approach.

Together, these activities help make evidence more accessible, encourage collaboration between research and practice, and create opportunities for knowledge to be shared, discussed and applied across the policing community.

ANZSEBP is building a growing Academic Network across Australia, New Zealand and internationally, connecting academics, researchers and students in criminology, policing and related fields who share an interest in evidence-based policing. The network is designed to help identify who is researching what, where that expertise sits, and where opportunities for collaboration may exist. Members can connect with academics whose research interests align with emerging policing priorities, while researchers can build relationships with practitioners and organisations working in real-world policing environments.

For ANZSEBP members, this creates a stronger pathway to academic expertise, research partnerships, shared learning and emerging evidence. For academics and researchers, it creates opportunities to connect with policing professionals, contribute knowledge, identify potential collaborators and strengthen the practical reach of their work.

As the network grows, it will help strengthen ANZSEBP’s research connections across Australia and New Zealand while building a broader international footprint within the global evidence-based policing community.
