In the mission to support the law enforcement leaders of today and develop the leaders of tomorrow, the IACP is constantly involved in advocacy, programs, research, and initiatives related to cutting-edge issues. This column keeps you up to date on IACP’s work to support our members and the field of law enforcement.

Police Executive Search Services

The IACP recognizes the significance of selecting new executive leadership and provides comprehensive services for agencies seeking to fill leadership positions. We use a collaborative approach and work in partnership with the jurisdiction through all stages of the planning, selection, and transition processes. Key elements of the IACP police executive search process include

• Comprehensive candidate profiling and job analysis
• Extensive recruitment advertising
• Applicant screening, evaluation, and selection

The IACP can help at all levels of the hiring process, from defining the ideal candidate to drafting a vacancy announcement and promoting the vacancy to assessing candidates. Our services are based on the needs of the hiring agency, and agencies may engage the IACP for all or a portion of these executive search elements. Once your new chief is hired, the IACP can also provide personalized guidance to the agency as it transitions to new leadership.

For more information, contact Kim Kohlhepp via email, KohlheppK@theiacp.org, or at 1-800-THE IACP ext. 237.

Videos Highlight Courage and Dedication of Troopers

Protect and Serve is an IACP Presidential Initiative that brings together resources to tell the true story of law enforcement. The IACP has brought together resources, program examples, and news stories to help agencies tell their stories and work together with the communities they serve. The Protect and Serve pages are constantly being updated with new resources and news items. The newest additions to the site are two videos. These videos feature two of the IACP/Motorola Solutions Trooper of the Year finalists. Senior Trooper Ryan Winters of the Indiana State Police and Trooper Leopoldo Sanchez of the Texas Department of Public Safety are two examples of the courageous and dedicated law enforcement officials who serve all across the United States and the world.
