The annual IACP 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 agencies, communities, and the field of policing.

The professionals chosen as the 2024 40 Under 40 awardees represent the rising leaders of policing, regardless of rank or title. They serve their agencies, colleagues, and communities with excellence, whether they are professional staff, patrol officers, investigators, supervisors, or chiefs of police. This year’s class represents sworn and civilian professionals serving in a wide spectrum of roles, ranging from military special agents to community liaisons and span the gamut of experience, including new professionals, veterans of two decades, and those who found a passion for service after starting in a different field. They serve communities around the globe, hailing from six countries, and their home agencies range from small local police departments and sheriff’s offices to large national police agencies.
