Having previously worked in police training and in further education and now teach on programmes that develop the next generation of police officers.
Mr Gary Jones
Senior Lecturer in Policing
School of Law, Policing and Social Sciences
I joined CCCU in 2020. I am a former police officer and the Course Director of the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) programme.
I teach and assess serving police officers on the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) and Degree-Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) and our campus-based students on the BSc (Hons) in Professional Policing programme.
I am also a supervisor for Level 6 students completing their Professional Policing Practice Projects in their final year of study.
Given my background and teaching experience, my research interest is on police education and work-based learning programmes.
