The Tasmanian Institute of Law Enforcement Studies (TILES), formed by the University of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Department of Police and Emergency Management (DPEM), is based in the School of Government, Faculty of Arts, at the University of Tasmania.
Established in August 2002, TILES is a clear example of a well performing partnership between the State Government and the University of Tasmania. TILES is the focal point for all research conducted in law enforcement at the University of Tasmania. This ensures a cohesive, co-ordinated approach across the spectrum.
After an international search process, Associate Professor Roberta Julian, formerly of the School of Sociology and Social Work at the University of Tasmania, was appointed as the Director of TILES in July 2003.
