Alexandria, VA – The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) today launched a Policing in the 21st Century e-library to assist police chiefs as they are confronted with the challenges of policing in the 21st century. The e-library, which can be found by visiting www.TheIACP.org/21C, contains hundreds of resources from model policies to articles to publications aimed at helping police chiefs in this new era. Over the past several months, the IACP has gathered more than 500 U.S. and international law enforcement leaders and discussed the impact that the new economy is having on the field. Ninety-four percent of respondents said that we are seeing a “new reality” in policing developing. Additionally, more than 55 percent of respondents said that the new economy presented a serious or severe problem to their agencies. More than 85 percent of agencies reported that they were forced to reduce their budgets over the last year, and nearly half of the agencies surveyed reporting that they had to lay off or furlough staff in the past 12 months. IACP President Chief Mark A. Marshall of the Smithfield, Virginia, Police Department said, “One of my top priorities as IACP president is the Policing in this 21st Century Initiative. My goal is to use the ‘reach and breadth’ of the IACP to bring together law enforcement leaders from international, state, local, and tribal departments to use our collective wisdom to discuss the challenges we all are facing and to identify solutions.” For more information, please visit www.TheIACP.org/21C. The International Association of Chiefs of Police is the world’s oldest and largest association of law enforcement executives. Founded in 1893, the IACP has more than 21,000 members in more than 100 countries. |
