University of the West of Scotland's Interdisciplinary Research Unit on Crime, Policing & Social Justice’s Seminar Series on COVID-19 and its Impact on Scotland: ‘Policing the Pandemic’

Thursday 11th February 2021 from 4.00 pm – 5.30 pm, hosted on Microsoft Teams.

 

In this seminar, Chief Superintendent Mark Sutherland (Divisional Commander: Greater Glasgow within Police Scotland) and Sergeant Kevin Dougall (Service Delivery and Divisional Improvement team: Glasgow City Centre Police Office) will share their insights into both the strategic and operational policing approach put in place in Scotland to protect the safety and build the confidence of the Scottish public during the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

They will discuss a range of issues, including the approach used to enforce lockdown restrictions (engage, explain, encourage, enforce); the approach used to police demonstrations; the changing levels of enforcement over the course of 2020 and how this was managed; and the challenges encountered on the ground. The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in dialogue with the senior officers during the course of the seminar.
