This duty encompasses a broad array of responsibilities, not the least of which is protecting vulnerable populations. Unfortunately, crimes committed against these populations, which often occur out of the public eye, often to victims who are unable or unwilling to report them, are not addressed as aggressively as other crimes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">This is why IACP leadership has made protecting vulnerable populations a priority for the association. In particular, IACP has directed recent focus on elder abuse, intimate partner violence, and child abuse.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"DEPT-ARTICLE-SUBHEAD-2014\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Elder Abuse<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">In recent years, we have seen increased rates of elder abuse due to an aging global population coupled with public service efforts directed toward reporting cases of neglect, physical and sexual abuse, and financial exploitation.<span class=\"CharOverride-30\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span> To put things into perspective, the global population of people who are 60 years old and older will more than double from almost 1 billion today to 2 billion in the next 30 years.<span class=\"CharOverride-30\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">In the United States, approximately 1 in 10 seniors aged 60 and older will experience some form of elder abuse.<span class=\"CharOverride-30\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/span> Compounding an existing problem, the evolution of technology has exposed seniors to new subcategories of exploitation: identity theft, hacking, and scams. At-risk adults can easily become victims of unknown callers and convincing emails that request money or personal identifying information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">To address this issue, the IACP is working with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), to help guide law enforcement agencies in combating this problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">The IACP, in conjunction with DOJ, is working to develop an array of resources, including roll-call training videos, to aid patrol officers in identifying signs of elder abuse and recognizing evidence that can protect victims of abuse. These videos and other resources will help officers effectively communicate with victims, service providers, and investigators working elder abuse cases. Additionally, these resources will assist public safety emergency dispatchers in identifying potential cases of elder abuse before officers arrive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">The IACP is also working on tools to aid detectives and investigators in distinguishing suspicious patterns in cases to help better identify the financial exploitation of elders.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"DEPT-ARTICLE-SUBHEAD-2014\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Intimate Partner Violence<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">The crimes of intimate partner violence, including sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and strangulation, are drastically underreported. The decision by a victim to report this violence to law enforcement can be difficult and can be even more complex for individuals who, for example, identify as LGBTQ+, are documented or undocumented immigrants, are survivors of other victimization, or are sex workers. However, when these crimes are reported, the first responders and investigators set the tone of the agency\u2019s interactions with the victim. Clear agency policies, comprehensive training, and responsive supervision and accountability systems can have a significant impact on a victim\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">To strengthen response to these crimes, the IACP has developed resources and training events related to intimate partner violence. Current projects include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">Pol<\/span>ice Response to Violence Against Women<\/li>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">Nat<\/span>ional Law Enforcement Leadership Initiative on Violence Against Women<\/li>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">Tra<\/span>uma Informed Sexual Assault Investigation Training<\/li>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">Ide<\/span>ntifying and Preventing Gender Bias in Law Enforcement Response to Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"DEPT-ARTICLE-SUBHEAD-2014\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Child Abuse<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">In 2016, an estimated 676,000 children in the United States experienced some form of abuse. Whether these crimes take the form of neglect (74.8 percent), physical abuse (18.2 percent), or sexual abuse (8.5 percent), they are horrific, and police agencies must do all they can to address them.<span class=\"CharOverride-30\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">To assist agencies, the IACP has developed a number of resources over the years to aid agencies as they strive to protect children by preventing these crimes and by investigating and apprehending those who are responsible for such heinous acts. These resources, which are available on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theIACP.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IACP website<\/a>, include<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><em><span class=\"Bullets\"><span class=\"PALATINO-NOVA-PRO-ITAL\">Enh<\/span><\/span><span class=\"PALATINO-NOVA-PRO-ITAL CharOverride-31\">ancing Police Responses to Children Exposed to Violence<\/span><\/em><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><em><span class=\"Bullets\"><span class=\"PALATINO-NOVA-PRO-ITAL\">Com<\/span><\/span><span class=\"PALATINO-NOVA-PRO-ITAL CharOverride-31\">batting Child Sex Trafficking: A Guide for Law Enforcement Leaders<\/span><\/em><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">Too<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">lkit:<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\"> \u201c<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">Child Sex Trafficking: A Training Series for Frontline Officers<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">\u201d<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">IAC<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">P\u2019s Youth Focused Policing Resource Center.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">Additional resources for agencies seeking information about child abuse include<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">FBI<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">\u2019s Innocence Lost National Initiative;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">\u201cCo<\/span>m<span class=\"CharOverride-32\">mercial Sexual Exploitation of Child<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">ren: A Fact Sheet<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">\u201d<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\"> by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"DEPT-TEXT-BULLET-2014\"><span class=\"Bullets\">Yal<\/span><span class=\"CharOverride-32\">e School of Medicine Child Study Center.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"DEPT-TEXT-2014\">It is my hope that all police leaders will take advantage of these resources and do all they can to ensure that their agencies are well positioned to protect those who are, all too often, overlooked by society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-FOOTNOTE-2014 ParaOverride-11\"><span class=\"PALATINO-NOVA-PRO-BOLD\"><strong>Notes<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-FOOTNOTE-2014\"><span class=\"CharOverride-30\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span>Kathleen Quinn and William Benson, \u201cThe States\u2019 Elder Abuse Victim Services: A System in Search of Support,\u201d <em><span class=\"PALATINO-NOVA-PRO-ITAL\">Generations<\/span><\/em> 36, no. 3 (Fall 2012): 66\u201372.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-FOOTNOTE-2014\"><span class=\"CharOverride-30\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/span>World Health Organization, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/ageing-and-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ageing and Health<\/a>,\u201d fact sheet, September 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DEPT-FOOTNOTE-2014\"><span class=\"CharOverride-30\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/span>Mark S.
