I am the MoRiLE Programme lead, which is a Programme of work I lead on behalf of the National Police Chiefs Council Intelligence Portfolio Group.

I created the programme of work in 2014 to help Policing and our Partners organisations better understand and respond to the complexities of 21st Century Policing. The result has been a creation of a suite of models which are used by agencies to support their decision making.

I was awarded the CIR Risk Management Champion award in 2018 for my work on the MoRiLE programme.

My PhD Thesis is "The Management of Risk in Law Enforcement (MoRiLE) Programme: to what extent can it help Policing meet the challenges of modernity?" and aims to cover the following:

1. Critically examine risk theory and industry principles in relation to resource prioritisation by public institutions in the modern era;
2. Critically assess the current UK law enforcement operating environment and the necessity for new ways of managing risk;
3. Critically examine MoRiLE’s ambition statement, programme principles and approach; and
Critically analyse whether MoRiLE can provide new insights into risk management and deliver new solutions for identifying and managing risks.
