Remembering Prof. Anders Ericsson

Polis Solutions mourns the tragic loss of our friend and mentor, Prof. Anders Ericsson, who died yesterday. Prof. Ericsson's intellect was matched only by his idealism, integrity, and generosity. He was internationally renowned for his work on deliberate practice and expertise, which is best known via the popular idea of the "10,000 hour rule." Prof. Ericsson inspired us to apply his ideas to police training, and was excited by the prospect that his research could help save lives and improve police-community trust. We pledge to honor Prof. Ericsson's memory by redoubling our efforts to apply his wisdom to the current challenges of police reform
