IACP Technology Center
The IACP Technology Center is designed to function as a comprehensive resource for law enforcement agencies and IACP Members in planning, implementing and managing technology to a) improve public and officer safety and homeland security, b) enhance the effectiveness of operations and the efficient use of resources, and c) support and encourage the professional development of law enforcement personnel, public safety agencies and IACP Members.
Technology programs addressed by the Center are broadly arrayed, ranging from Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR), in-car cameras, and biometric identification technologies to national information sharing initiatives such as the National Data Exchange (N-DEx) program and the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative (NSI).
Law Enforcement Information Management (LEIM) Section
The IACP LEIM Section provides law enforcement executives, IT managers, and technology specialists with a forum in which to share information, leading practices and lessons learned regarding state-of-the-art law enforcement information management, communications and interoperability, technology standards, and information sharing. Comprised of over 1,000 members, the LEIM Section is a rich source of information for chiefs, operational practitioners, and technologists. If you are not already a member, Join Today!
The LEIM Section has created a Subgroup of IACP on LinkedIn. The LEIM Section Subgroup is open to all IACP LEIM Section members. This Subgroup is our initial effort to build a dynamic community of practice among law enforcement executives, operational managers, and information technology professionals. The primary objectives are to share best practices, lessons learned, and issues of common concern. Please join today!
