June 2nd Webinar - Violence Against Women Survivors and Police Use of Body Worn Cameras with Alana Saulnier

Alana Saulnier (PhD) is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in crime, technology, and public policy in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Guelph.

Dr. Saulnier has demonstrated a strong commitment to furthering the evidence-based policing movement, particularly in relation to police use of technologies and community-police relations. She has held research partnerships with over 30 Canadian police services and regularly partners with police services and other community partners to conduct applied research.

She also consistently translates research into outputs appropriate for practitioners and lay audiences. After conducting extensive research on body-worn cameras (BWC), she partnered with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police to produce a BWC policy template that promoted consistency in police use of BWCs across the country as well as victim-sensitive practices. Her research is routinely published in high-quality, peer-reviewed journals including Policing & Society, the Journal of Experimental Criminology, and Criminology & Public Policy.
