Annual Chief Constable Lecture Series 

The Chief Constable Lecture Series is delivered annually each autumn on LJMU campus and is used to explore contemporary issues and debate policing. The Chief Constable of Merseyside Police, the university community and members of the public in the audience are invited to share viewpoints, ideas and issues that address the current state of policing in Merseyside and future challenges within our communities.  

The Chief Constable Lecture Series then invites a Chief Constable from the UK to deliver a spring lecture on an annual basis.  

Further details of the next Chief Constable Lecture will be shared in due course.
