    "abstract": "The lockdown resulting from the pandemic in March 2020 had a huge impact on the National Uplift Programme in England and Wales and the associated training of new recruit police officers in all forces. Overnight, all training had to move from the classroom to the virtual space. There is now a push for greater incorporation of virtual and blended learning programmes in police training for recruit as well as in-service officers. We were commissioned to undertake research to support the National Police Learning and Development (L & D) Executive Group by providing an evidence base for what works in virtual and blended learning programmes. As part of the broader project we interviewed L & D leads in 17 police forces in England and Wales regarding the experience of their organisations with online training during the pandemic and to gauge appetite in the forces (from trainers, trainees and senior leadership) for adopting a blended learning approach to underpin all their learning and development efforts. This paper reports the findings from the interviews and identifies the benefits and challenges of adopting a blended learning approach from the view point of L & D leads for police training going forward.",
