Hi 

The Policing Network is overseen by a steering group. If members of the network would like to become more involved and join the steering group then we'd be interested in hearing from them. The network has a busy programme lined up and there are plenty of opportunities for colleagues to get involved. We would welcome contributions from academic, practitioner and postgraduate members.

In particular, two positions need to be filled. I am standing down as Chair, and so a vacancy exists there. In addition to coordinating activities of the Network the Chair sits on the executive committee of the British Society of Criminology (and needs to be a member of the society). 

Secondly, the postgraduate group also needs a new coordinator. We are keen to develop further activities for postgraduate members and this role would be a great opportunity to consolidate and expand along these lines.

If you are interested in taking on either of these roles then please let me know at [log in to unmask]

Expressions of interest should be made by 31 July 2013. If necessary a ballot will subsequently be arranged. 

best wishes, Mike
