Human & Civil Rights
The IACP has programs, policies, and initiatives to enhance law enforcement's role in strengthening and protecting the civil rights of all people and set professional standards for human and civil rights policy. Rapport, cooperation, and partnership between law enforcement and the community are strongest when the community perceives that individual civil and human rights are respected and upheld.
