"For a small town Chief, it’s one of my best resources and a must to have."
Chief Steven Davis
Mountain View, Colorado, Police Department
Read More
"Absolutely it is so useful to me. As a small town Chief, I do not have the luxury of commanders doing research for important issues such as hiring, internal affair questions/updates and general overall running of the department. I depend on IACP.org weekly for different reasons. I have used the data base for my officer evaluations (obtaining examples from like size departments), internal compliant processes and as of late, my hiring and promoting of officers. This is just a sampling of what I use IACPnet for but am accessing it often for various admin reasons. For a small town Chief, it’s one of my best resources and a must to have."
"I have actually used IACPnet quite often since being updated this last year. Not only did I use it to help update our Mission, Vision, and Values Statements for our Department following an Admin change."
John Jurkash, Operations Captain
Public Information Officer
Whitestown Metropolitan Police Department
Read More
"I have actually used IACPnet quite often since being updated this last year. Not only did I use it to help update our Mission, Vision, and Values Statements for our Department following an Admin change, but I also use it quite often to review other agencies' policies nationwide when we are lacking in a policy or need to update our own.
The network has been extremely user friendly, and I have not quite gone down the rabbit hole of the Training and Funding opportunities but that is one more thing I am sure we can benefit from greatly. "
