IACP Working for You

IACP Working for You
In the mission to support the law enforcement leaders of today and develop the leaders of tomorrow, the IACP is constantly involved in advocacy, programs, research, and initiatives related to cutting-edge issues. This column keeps you up to date on IACP’s work to support our members and the field of law enforcement. IACP Foundation Tens of thousands of law enforcement officers are injured or disabled every year. Many of those injuries, including felonious assaults against officers, are potentially predictable and preventable. The IACP Foundation supports IACP’s efforts to promote officer safety and support injured and fallen officers and their families. The foundation also honors those in the law enforcement community who have made the ultimate sacrifice or been permanently disabled through programs such as the Fallen Officer Fund and the SELECT Scholarship Program, which provide financial support and scholarship opportunities for the families of officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The foundation’s premier event is the Foundation Gala, which is held during the IACP Annual Conference each year and highlights heroism through the IACP/Target Police Officer of the Year award.
