This column keeps you up to date on IACP’s work to support our members and the field of law enforcement.

IACP On Leadership E-Newsletter

IACP has recently developed an e-newsletter focused specifically on leadership in law enforcement. The newsletter, which is supported by IBM, includes interviews with law enforcement leaders, recent news related to leadership and policing, and other issue-focused content. IACP On Leadership is released by email, and archived on IACP’s website. The first issue of the quarterly publication was issued in October 2014.

Alzheimer’s Initiatives—Train-the-Trainer Program

The IACP, in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, is launching a train-the-trainer program as part of the IACP’s Alzheimer’s Initiatives for those who are interested in advancing their instructional expertise.

The program is intended to prepare selected individuals from among local law enforcement agencies, first responder agencies, and other Alzheimer’s professionals to facilitate the Responding to Alzheimer’s: Techniques for Law Enforcement and First Responders workshop. During the two-day training, participants will learn highlighted portions of the one-day curriculum used to instruct first responders. The course will be facilitated by professional experienced instructors who are well versed in all areas of the topic. At the end of the two-day training, the selected individuals will be required to coordinate and conduct a training session within 90 days of completing the instructor’s course.

Protect and Serve: Telling the True Story of Law Enforcement

In an effort to better assist law enforcement in the current difficult climate, President Beary has launched a new Presidential Initiative, Protect and Serve. By the end of January 2015, there will be a dedicated resource site to serve as a repository for information for IACP members to help aid in telling the true story of law enforcement. The resource will provide helpful facts and figures, talking points, sample communications materials, legislative resources, and various other materials to equip officers in the united effort to correct public misperceptions of policing and police officers. If you wish to share resources, good stories about law enforcement actions, or if you have any general questions please email protectandserve@theiacp.org. ♦
