The Protecting the Protectors Stage was new for 2025 and saw four partners curate content for the show. Starting with the College of Policing, we hear about the response and learning from the 2024 riots. We spend this episode with T/Superintendent Laura Douglas and Andy Hunt where they brought their own riot gear on to the stage. In a compelling session, Laura and Andy debunk the myths of public order policing and provide insights into what it's like to be truly in the thick of it.
