International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, Virginia.
IACP's stated mission includes to:
IACP developed and/or promoted many tools currently used by law enforcement agencies. These tools include the use of fingerprints, Uniform Crime Reports and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Academy for state and local police.
The United Nations granted a Consultative Status to the IACP in the 1970s due to the IACPs work in several UN member nations. Also in the 1970s, the IACP developed a national bomb data center and turned this over to the FBI. See also U.S. Bomb Data Center.
Along with other activities, the IACP publishes Police Chief Magazine.
The Psychological Services Section of IACP has over a hundred members, primarily from the United States. They are recognized specialists in this field, including those employed by larger departments and independent consultants. The section has been in operation since 1986, and publishes guidelines for various types of police psychological services.
The leadership of the International Association of Chiefs of Police includes the Governing Body
Forty-seven chiefs of police from cities in the United States met in Chicago in May 1893. At the meeting, the organization was founded as the National Chiefs of Police Union. The founders of the organization sought to establish a central police bureau to improve detection and prevention of crime in the United States as well as to foster an exchange of ideas and information related to law enforcement.
At the Chicago meeting, Chief W.S. Seavey of Omaha, Nebraska, was elected the organization's first president. Chief Harvey O. Carr of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was the first treasurer and secretary.
