Key functions include designing research policies, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, securing external funding, and strengthening research capacity. The institute identifies priority/thematic research areas such as crime prevention, forensic science, police administration, health science in policing, gender studies, and community based research, while also organizing academic conferences and publishing research reports. Additionally, it publishes the Ethiopian Journal of Police Studies (EJPoS), an online journal dedicated to advancing policing research.
