Defense Chiefs of Police Section

The Defense Chiefs of Police Section represents the unique interests of military and civilian law enforcement within the Defense establishments of IACP members. The Defense Chiefs of Police Section promotes an exchange of information and develops standards for increasing the efficiency and capabilities of each law enforcement agency that provides service to our Military Services and Defense Agencies. While there is overlap with local, state, and federal policing, the unique needs of Defense law enforcement require a unique level of service, one that combines the culture of education with the tenets of crime prevention, security, and public order. The Section represents this perspective to the larger law enforcement community.

Mission

The mission of this section is to allow its members to develop and promote professional relationships among its members and the IACP, and to increase the efficiency and capabilities of each law enforcement agency that provides service to a Military Service and Defense Agencies. This will be accomplished by providing educational opportunities, training, promoting effective leadership, sharing information, and mentoring our future leaders.
