Cj 478 - online Resource Guide for Law Enforcement

...

The last website I will be discussing is the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). This is a website where all Chiefs of Police are able to come together to collaborate ideas, prepare proposals, and put projects and programs into effect. It is where law enforcement personnel can take a simple thought and actually see it make an impact in our youths today. There is a tab called Program Impact Tools which allows you to measure the pros and cons of how likely a program will be successful. The measuring tool used is called the “Eight Steps of Impact Evaluation. Keep in mind, this is only the beginning of requirements to complete when starting a new program (IACP Youth Focused Policing, 2011).

IACP also offers training and technical assistance to law enforcement personnel. The top two topics that I instantly saw on this website were Children exposed to Violence and Child Sex Trafficking. It is sickening just to imagine the kind of vile things that can be done to any other human let alone our children. Law enforcement personnel are trained to respond and handle situations such as these but it is still not something that anyone will ever get accustomed too (IACP Youth Focused Policing, 2011).

The three websites researched OJJDP, NCJRS, IACP are all great tools for law enforcement personnel, case workers and anyone who wants more knowledge in helping our youths. These tools bring more focus on what is happening and shows the statistics of how much more or less these crimes are happening.
