WA Police encourages individual researchers and academic institutions to conduct research into the wide range of issues relevant to policing today.
All applications for research must be approved through the Western Australia Police Research Application Review Committee (RARC). This process covers all types of research proposals including requests for data held on police systems and access to interview or survey police officers or police staff.
Applicants are encouraged to contact the Academic Research Administration Unit to discuss their research early in its development.
It is recommended researchers send an expression of interest (a one page summary of the research proposal) prior to completing a full application.
Please note: For university students and staff, university ethics approval is not a guarantee the research will be approved by WA Police.
