Within the discipline of clinical psychology, Police and Public Safety Psychology has been a recognized area of specialization since October 2011. The knowledge base generated from scientific inquiry into topics that are relevant to this specialty has led to the development of recommendations, best practices, and guidelines that are evidence-based.
