This September and November, the IACP’s National Law Enforcement Leadership Initiative on Violence Against Women will be holding two comprehensive training events in Savannah, Georgia. With support from the Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, these transformative opportunities will be focused on assisting law enforcement in developing a practical, pro-active plan to increase agency effectiveness in responding to and investigating the crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and stalking.

The 16th National Law Enforcement Leadership Institute on Violence Against Women is a four-day event and an opportunity for law enforcement executives (first or second in command) to learn the latest strategies and tools to address the crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. Participants will assess their agency’s responses to these crimes and explore new ways to hold perpetrators accountable while supporting victims. The Institute provides a forum for executives from across the nation to gather information about innovative initiatives, share promising practices, develop practical, proactive strategies for immediate implementation, and set goals to strengthen response to these crimes. Applications to attend the Institute in September, along with additional information, can be found at iacp.org.
