National problem solving conference
About
Welcome to the National Problem Solving Conference website!
In 2017, South Yorkshire Police were awarded a grant from the Home Office to lead a National Problem Solving Programme on behalf of all forces.
NPCC lead from Problem Solving, Chief Constable Lauren Poultney, is responsible for overseeing the delivery of this programme and overarching purpose of transforming ways of working and reducing demand, by embedding a structured problem solving ethos as a core discipline in policing.
To achieve this the programme facilitated a number of workstreams, one of which included the launch of the annual National Problem Solving Conference to explore, share and celebrate problem-solving initiatives and knowledge with both police and our partners at a local, regional and national level.
This annual conference has now been running for a number of years and an overview of previous events, along with outputs from our other programme workstreams is available on the Knowledge Hub.
You can also view content from our previous years’ conferences on our Problem Solving Knowledge Hub page and keep up to date with latest information by following us on Twitter @PSCP_Programme

TILLEY AWARDS
The Tilley Awards celebrate problem-oriented projects that have achieved measurable success
in resolving issues faced by the police, partners
and/or the community.
By generating a reward system to recognise good practice in problem solving, the Tilley Awards increase the profile of the discipline in the UK. This best practice can be shared internationally, through our close links to the Goldstein Awards.
