Five Years of Partnership: Strengthening Leadership Across Humberside Police
Martin Johnson, T2 CEO & Founder, on stage delivering a Keynote at Humberside Police HQ
Client Profile & Challenge
Humberside Police has been a valued partner of T2 for over five years and is part of our Partnership Programme. As a large policing organisation, they face the challenge of equipping mid-level leaders — Inspectors, Chief Inspectors, and staff equivalents — to thrive in complex, high-pressure environments.
Leaders were technically proficient but varied in confidence and consistency when it came to leading people, driving culture, and fostering collaboration. The leadership team recognised a need to:
Strengthen inclusive leadership across teams
Build greater strategic thinking and collaboration
Improve morale and team alignment through stronger leadership capability
This is where T2 came in. Partnering with Humberside Police, we aligned with the existing Mid-Level Leadership Programme (MLLP) curriculum set by the College of Policing, tailoring delivery as an external provider to meet the force’s specific needs and challenges.
“We were seeking a partner who could help us deliver a leadership programme aligned with the National Police Leadership framework, but also tailored to the realities of modern policing. T2’s reputation and their understanding of policing environments made them a natural choice.”
T2 partnered with Humberside Police to design a 12-week modular programme combining leadership theory with a practical policing context. The sessions included:
Interactive workshops focused on leading self and leading teams.
Real-world application — translating leadership models into day-to-day policing challenges.
Safe spaces for reflection and challenge, helping leaders grow their self-awareness and confidence
A standout moment came during the “leading self” module, where several participants recognised unconscious biases and actively reshaped their approach to engagement and decision-making.
Leaders consistently praised the relevance, energy, and impact of the sessions — with many reporting a significant shift in confidence and leadership mindset.
Client Profile & Challenge
The Mid-Level Leadership Programme has made a measurable difference across the force:
More consistent leadership at Inspector and Chief Inspector levels
Improved cross-department collaboration and shared purpose
Greater confidence in navigating complex, high-pressure challenges
Enhanced morale and engagement, with leaders more proactive and inclusive
While the programme continues to evolve, Humberside Police has already seen stronger cohesion, improved team alignment, and a step-change in the way mid-level leaders operate.
“The MLLP has been a transformative experience for our leaders. T2’s approach is both strategic and human-centred, making it highly effective in developing sustainable leadership capability. We’d strongly recommend it to any organisation investing in its mid-level
