The Road Policing Network fosters meaningful collaboration among police officers, researchers, practitioners, and others committed to reducing road trauma. As part of this mission, the upcoming workshop aims to bridge the gap between research and practice by bringing together experts from diverse jurisdictions to share knowledge, experiences, and innovations. Through a series of short presentations, both practitioners and researchers will highlight the challenges they encounter and the successes they have achieved in road policing—offering valuable insights into evidence-based strategies. The session will conclude with a panel Q&A, providing attendees with the opportunity to engage directly with presenters, ask questions, and contribute to a collaborative dialogue focused on reducing road trauma.
