Annex D: What the College of Policing
does
Purpose
The College of Policing's purpose is to support the
mission of policing - preventing crime and protecting the public.
Ambition

reputation world-wide and the College of Policing aims to establish
policing's status as a profession.
To this end, it will:

with the police and partners to improve standards across policing
· develop
the evidence base of what works
· provide
knowledge to frontline officers and staff (using the best technology)
· support
continuous professional development for all in policing.
Objectives
The College will promote professional standards for
police in England and Wales, for public benefit, in particular
but not exclusively:
· setting
standards of professional practice
· accrediting
training providers and setting learning and development outcomes
· identifying,
developing and promoting good practice based on evidence
· supporting
police forces and other organisations to work together to protect
the public and prevent crime
· identifying,
developing and promoting ethics, values and standards of integrity.[118]
