Author

Barrie Archer is a lecturer in policing at the University of Derby. He specialises in delivering the police constable degree apprenticeship (PCDA) module, drawing on his experience as an officer with Warwickshire police and his legal qualifications.

George Ellison is a senior lecturer in law at the University of Derby, working both within the law school and on the police degree programme. He served with Merseyside Police for 33 years in several departments, and is a qualified barrister.

Tony Blockley has served within policing for over 30 years, gaining extensive knowledge and understanding of policing organisation and practice. On retirement he had attained the rank of Chief Superintendent with the position of Head of Crime, responsible for leading 500+ multi-disciplinary staff within a complex and critical department servicing public protection, major and serious crime, serious and organised crime, terrorism, financial crime, fraud and forensic services.

As the lead for policing at the University of Derby he is responsible for co-ordinating policing higher education, including developing programmes and enhancing current provision in line with the Police Education Qualification Framework (PEQF) while also supporting the College of Policing in the development of programmes.

He combines an extensive policing career with an understanding of the national curriculum, the requirements of the academic standards and the entry routes to policing, giving him a unique perspective and the necessary credibility to support his role as Editor of Critical Publishing's new policing series.
