September 10, 2024

Join us February 25 - 27

The Community Safety Knowledge Alliance (CSKA) and the Canadian Police Knowledge Network (CPKN) are excited to announce the CSKA and CPKN Research Symposium: Exploring and Implementing Trauma-Informed Policing. Building on nine years of partnership between the two organizations, this enhanced alliance aims to boost the integration of applied research and knowledge development to drive excellence in policing professional development.

Why Attend?

This two-day event will convene practice leaders and innovators to share emerging trends, discuss lessons learned, and offer fresh insights into the challenges and opportunities confronting policymakers, police leaders, and practitioners in their pursuit of effective trauma-informed practices. Our aim is to provide participants with a unique and comprehensive opportunity to explore and engage with the latest research and evidence-based practices that local police services and their personnel can adopt and implement.
