The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) was found in Chicago in 1893 as the National Chiefs of Police Union. The primary goal of this organization was to apprehend and return criminals who had fled the agency jurisdictions in which they were wanted. The organization has expanded over the years with the goals of advancing the science and art of police work, promoting improved practices throughout the law enforcement community and foster cooperation and information exchange among Police administrators. MISSION IACP's stated mission includes to:
ACTIVITIES The IACP helped to develop and/or promote 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 consultant 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. Along with other activities, the IACP publishes Police Chief Magazine. REFERENCES
