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.

Child Trafficking Toolkit<br
IACP, in collaboration with the Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services and in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has been working on an initiative to improve the ability of law enforcement officers in the field to recognize and respond to commercial sexual exploitation of children, specifically victims of child sex trafficking.

IACP, in a unique partnership with the FBI, has developed a toolkit that includes a series of training videos to be utilized for training within law enforcement agencies across the United States. This series of training videos depicts sworn law enforcement officers demonstrating alternative responses to different types of scenarios involving child sex trafficking. The scenarios include responding to a traffic stop, a domestic violence call, a school, a hospital, a hotel noise complaint, and a street or track scenario. Accompanying the videos is a toolkit that includes training instructions for supervisors, a discussion guide, a fillable tip card for supervisors to write whom the officers can call when coming into contact with victims of child sex trafficking, a fact sheet, an indicator sheet, and a glossary of terms used.

Drive to Save Lives

IACP, in partnership with U.S. federal, state, and local law enforcement and private entities, is leading a multiyear highway safety initiative known as the Drive to Save Lives/Drive to Zero campaign, with the goal of making a major reduction in highway fatalities. For 2014, the goal is to reduce highway fatalities by 15 percent (4,900 lives).

To achieve campaign goals, IACP and its partners are focusing on data-driven approaches to traffic safety and traffic incident management; enforcement of driving laws regarding seat belts, distracted driving, speed limits, impaired driving, and other dangerous behaviors; and active responses to unsafe driving by operators of motorcycles and large trucks or buses. Components of the campaign include interstate challenges, strategic planning, awareness campaigns (e.g., #MoveOver), and officer safety initiatives.

Leading by Legacy—Shaping the Future of Law Enforcement

Building a legacy strengthens the capacity of individual leaders and organizations and enhances the reputation of the law enforcement profession one agency at a time. IACP’s Leading by Legacy program, supported by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice, seeks to meet this objective by supporting the leadership and management needs of executives, command staff, and first-line supervisors from smaller law enforcement agencies through an interactive two and a half–day training that discusses how to build a positive individual, organizational, and community legacy.

Since 2010, more than 650 leaders have been trained by seasoned law enforcement professionals who are familiar with the challenges of policing in smaller communities. The course challenges participants to consider

• how they envision their legacy;
• how their agency prepares future leaders; and
• how the community influences their agency’s mission.

In addition to the no-cost trainings, the Leading by Legacy program offers free on-site technical assistance from its trainers, educational webinars, and resource toolkits. ♦
