The IACP Division of State Associations of Chiefs of Police (SACOP) recently concluded its 2008 midyear conference in Arlington, Virginia. Seventy-eight delegates representing 36 states met March 1–3 to address the concerns of law enforcement administrators and the state associations. Yost Zakhary, chief of police in Woodway, Texas, and general chair of SACOP, led the conference.

SACOP, one of three IACP divisions, regularly brings together the leaders of the state associations to help them establish new levels of communication, coordinate state association activities, and create a forum for balancing states’ views on significant law enforcement issues.
