Principal Investigator
Patrick completed a PhD at the University of Manchester (UK) in 2010. His research interests include policing and civilian police oversight, municipal governance, and criminal proceedings. He conducts research predominantly from an ethnomethodological framework and is a board member of the International Institute of Ethnomethodology and Conversational Analysis.
Patrick is the principal investigator of two SSHRC funded projects: the Partnership Development Grant “Charting the Reasonable Officer”, a study of how civilian police oversight agencies account for lawful officer conduct in contested use-of-force incidents, and; the Open Research Area grant “Visions of Policing” a study of how video technology impacts police oversight and training. He would like to work with students who have an interest in the work routines in civic institutions.
