President’s Message: Joining Forces
Across the globe, public and private sector organizations alike have learned that collaboration and partnerships can produce greater outcomes and services for their constituents. Within the law enforcement and criminal justice arena, dynamic partnerships of leadership organizations can and do result in the creation of innovative, effective, and cost-efficient crime prevention efforts. Partnerships yield a wider reach with critical information, and they can also influence more effective enforcement of laws. Successful crime prevention and response, increased public safety, and reduced fear of crime are often the results of successful working relationships.
