This month’s Research in Brief (RIB) column takes a different approach. Instead of presenting just one research effort, we are presenting short summaries of three—specifically the three police-based research studies that have won this year’s Gold, Silver, and Bronze Excellence in Law Enforcement Research awards. In later editions of Police Chief we will revisit each individual program to provide you with more detailed information on these award-winning projects

The IACP is pleased to announce the following IACP Excellence in Law Enforcement Research Award winners.
