Trust in police forces varies enormously around the world. In many countries, trust has slipped since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ipsos’s annual Global Trustworthiness Index study asks people which professions and sectors they generally trust In 2022, police in just four countries were trusted by a majority of people.
Trust in police also varies enormously compared to that of other professions.
