Throughout its history, the IACP has played an active role in shaping laws and regulations of importance to the law enforcement profession. It is part of our mission to ensure that our members have the information and resources necessary to meet the public’s expectations for safety and security. At no time has it been more important for the voice of law enforcement to be heard than today.

In the past two years, the U.S. Congress and the administration have addressed a multitude of issues of critical importance to the law enforcement community. These include funding for critical law enforcement assistance programs, homeland security, information and intelligence sharing, firearms, and immigration.
