On-Site Training and Technical Assistance

The IACP has partnered with the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) of the US Department of Justice for more than 20 years to enhance the law enforcement response to crimes of violence against women. The training and technical assistance described above are part of one such partnership. This National Law Enforcement Leadership Initiative on Violence Against Women reflects the continued partnership and shared commitment of IACP and OVW in their efforts to bring crimes of violence against women to the forefront of policing. Over the past several years, the IACP and OVW have collaborated to provide direction and support on numerous violence against women topics to several thousand federal, state, local, Tribal, and campus police agencies through a comprehensive technical assistance delivery system. The National Law Enforcement Leadership Initiative on Violence Against Women is a “next step” in this effort, one that focuses attention and resources on developing the capacity and commitment of law enforcement to address crimes of violence against women.
