Latest press releases
The Fulbright Scholarship Program is the US government's flagship international educational exchange programme, designed to "increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries". Launched in 1946, around 300,000 participants have benefited from taking part.
Around 7,500 new grants are awarded annually, with over 155 countries involved worldwide.
Jayme Johnson, currently studying for the Postgraduate Diploma in Police Leadership and Management, has been selected to receive a Fulbright Police Research Fellowship, and will be going to George Mason University in Virginia USA next year.
The competition for places is fierce, and successful applicants are chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential, with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
A Detective Sergeant in London's Metropolitan Police Service, Jayme joined the national High Potential Development Scheme in 2008. He has six years' service as an officer, and currently specialises in investigating Domestic Violence in London's Hammersmith and Fulham.
Jayme will spend five months in and around Washington DC, studying how police behaviour influences public attitudes to policing.
He gave this reaction on finding out he has been awarded a Fellowship:
"Fulbright offers a special opportunity to pause and explore everyday policing challenges, but outside my usual policing environment. I plan to build on my learning from WBS, deliver lectures to US students on UK law and policing, and return to London with findings that will be relevant for my frontline colleagues."
