Abstract
While there has been growth in the relationship between research and practice in policing, particularly police practitioner-researcher partnerships, there has been little effort until recently to examine their scope. This chapter presents the findings from a recent study conducted by two of the authors on police practitioner-researcher partnerships in the United States. Findings are presented on the prevalence of these partnerships, the benefits of participating in them, and the barriers and facilitators to their development and sustainability.
