Furthering fresh futures for NSW police

 There is international emphasis on the importance of cultivating the well-being of police, but there is little research explicating the key psychosocial drivers of that well-being.

Capitalising on powerful longitudinal design, gold-standard statistics, and interdisciplinary and multi-method theory/research, this project aims to explicate critical characteristics of effective police command units, as well as the psychosocial drivers of well-being, commitment, resilience, and retention of New South Wales Police.

As well as furthering fresh futures for New South Wales Police, this project will further enrich the international research agenda.
