This seminar explores trauma and complex emotions in the labour of police officers in the UK. How do police officers navigate emotional boundaries in their work and in their engagements with those they police? And how far are police forces becoming trauma-aware?

Speakers:

• Dr Karen Lumsden (University of Aberdeen) & Dr Alex Black (Sheffield Hallam University)
• Inspector Tony Eustace (West Midlands Police) & Sergeant Matt Manwaring (West Midlands Police)

This is an in-person & hybrid event open to all. To register for in-person or remote attendance, please email Dr. Tawfic: Simon.Tawfic@Warwick.ac.uk

The seminar will be followed by lunch. To RSVP for lunch, email: Simon.Tawfic@Warwick.ac.uk

This event is part of the Vulnerable State seminar series, fostering dialogue between frontline officials and those who study them. The seminar is co-organized in collaboration with Warwick’s Centre for Operational Police Research.
