# 7 Conclusion

This course has provided some insights into innovation both as it applies more generally, but also as it relates to policing.

Only by examining understanding key aspects of innovation and the innovation process is it possible for policing organisations to become more innovative. This is vital for the longer term enhancement of policing and to better meet the needs of all community stakeholders.

Equally, by understanding how policing innovation occurs, members of the community and community organisations are able to gain greater insight into how they can work with policing bodies to support greater innovation for mutual social benefit.
