Friday, December 21, 2012
In collaboration with the Joyce Foundation of Chicago, the IACP released Reducing Gun Violence in Our Communities: A Leadership Guide for Law Enforcement on Effective Strategies and Programs. This report is a companion document to the 2007 Taking a Stand: Reducing Gun Violence in Our Communities report. Together, they present a comprehensive set of information on the problem of gun violence. The Leadership Guide takes the reader through the history of gun violence reduction initiatives, then breaks down approaches to firearm violence reduction, looking at firearm diversion and trafficking, working with Federal Firearm Licensees, gun shows, gang violence prevention, youth safety, community safety, and domestic violence. Download the electronic version or contact the IACP Research Center at 800-THE-IACP, extension 392 for printed copies (while supplies last).
In 2007, The IACP, in conjunction with the Joyce Foundation, held a National Policy Summit on Gun Violence Reduction in Chicago, IL. The summit gathered 200 law enforcement leaders, executives, partners and advocates to draft recommendations to reduce the toll of gun violence. Their efforts were instrumental in creating a successful summit and the report, Taking A Stand: Reducing Gun Violence in our Communities, containing the results and recommendations of that summit. The report focuses on three main topics: Keeping Communities Safe, Preventing and Solving Gun Crime and Keeping Police Officers Safe.
