This committee shall provide input, advice, and direction to the association, law enforcement practitioners, law enforcement researchers, university based researchers, and the criminal justice system on all aspects of law enforcement policy research and evaluation. The committee will work toward the goal of establishing and sustaining effective research partnerships among law enforcement agencies and university based researchers; identify examples of partnerships that conclusively demonstrate the importance of such partnerships; aid in the preparation of intermittent reports to the field on law enforcement/university research partnerships, findings, and implications for the field; support and/or help design educational sessions at IACP and other conferences on law enforcement research findings and impact; and support research and underway by the U.S. Department of Justice, particularly the National Institute of Justice, through input, advice and the annual research agenda.
