Community Policing Consortium
Description
The Community Policing Consortium was created and funded in 1993 as a multiphased project by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). During Phase I, the Consortium was composed of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP); National Sheriffs' Association (NSA); Police Executive Research Forum (PERF); and Police Foundation. These four organizations: 1) researched and produced the Consortium monograph entitled, Understanding Community Policing: A Framework for Action; 2) provided training and technical assistance to five community policing demonstration sites; and 3) conducted meetings of community policing leaders. During the second phase of the project, the Consortium's scope of responsibility was expanded to include the development of community policing curricula and the provision of training and technical assistance to BJA grant recipients, demonstration sites and comprehensive communities. During the latter part of Phase II, the Consortium welcomed the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE). During Phase III, responsibility for the Consortium transferred from BJA to the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS).
The Consortium's primary mission is to deliver community policing training and technical assistance to police departments and sheriff's offices that are designated COPS grantees. Training sessions are held at the state/regional and county levels and use curricula reflecting the breadth of the Consortium's collective policing knowledge. For agencies that need overview training, the Consortium offers orientation to community policing as well as sheriff-specific sessions that address their unique issues and obstacles. Problem solving, developing strategies, personel deployment, and managing calls for service, building community partnerships/cultural diversity and train the trainer workshops are available to agencies searching for more specific courses.
The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is a professional organization comprising more than 13,000 top law enforcement executives from the United States and 79 nations. IACP members lead and manage several hundred thousand law enforcement officers and civilian employees in international, federal, state and local governments. Since 1893, IACP has facilitated the exchange of information among police administrators, has promoted the highest standards of performance and conduct within the police profession, and has been dedicated to fair and impartial enforcement of laws in accordance with constitutional and fundamental human rights. IACP's police practitioner members enable the association to provide contemporary and innovative information on issues and experiences that form the development of new strategies, tactics and programs.
