Foundation for Police Research

Foundation for Police Research is a not-for-profit organisation in Delhi, India. It describes itself as a platform that aims to advance the science and technology of policing in India and abroad. It works through policing and defence studies.

The foundation says it will introduce modern systems of measurement and feedback. These systems capture how well an organisation performs. Its aim is also to help shape policies for a strong and prosperous India and to support peace in society through policing.

A team of police and defence scholars and academics manages the foundation. An advisory board of international standing supports it with operating experience.

The foundation was formed with four main aims. The first is to carry out research and studies for government agencies and help them shape policies and procedures. The second is to give specialised training on different parts of policing. The third is to organise conferences, workshops and short courses. The fourth is to publish research journals, books and periodicals, and to encourage young people to write on these subjects.

Its work is split into four divisions: Publication, Research, Conference and Skill Development. The foundation also publishes COPS Today, an international magazine.
