The annual IACP/T-Mobile 40 Under 40 award recognizes 40 law enforcement professionals under the age of 40 from around the world who demonstrate leadership, exemplify commitment to their profession, and have a positive impact on their communities and the field of policing.

The professionals chosen as the 2022 40 Under 40 awardees represent the rising leaders of policing, regardless of rank. They serve their agencies and communities with excellence, whether they are civilian staff, line officers, supervisors, or chiefs of police. This year’s class represents every element of policing—patrol officers, investigators, command staff, PIOs, school resource offices, researchers, training coordinators, community engagement officers, and more. They serve communities around the globe, representing law enforcement from seven countries across four continents. Their home agencies range from small local police departments to large national police agencies.

These extraordinary individuals are motivated to lead their agencies into the future, and they encourage their colleagues to grow professionally and personally, striving daily to provide best-of-class services that lead to a safer, more inclusive, and more peaceful world. Regardless of role, rank, or agency, these professionals have dedicated their efforts to raising the bar for policing, and they serve as role models to those they work with, as well as the community members they serve.
