Law Enforcement Recruitment Toolkit
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
The IACP, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, has released a new publication to assist agencies with their recruitment efforts. The Law Enforcement Recruitment Toolkit comprises four reports, each focusing on a different area of recruitment:
- Police Recruitment: Foundation Concepts. Provides an overview of the current state of police staffing and a summary of common recruitment obstacles and how to overcome them.
- Recruiting for Diversity. Outlines the importance of diversity in law enforcement and strategies for effective minority recruitment.
- Agency Collaboration in Police Officer Recruitment and Selection. Contains case studies of successful regional and intra-agency recruitment collaboratives across the country.
- Community Partnerships in Police Recruitment. Discusses why and how to engage the community and civic organizations in the recruitment and selection process.
Recruitment issues have been the focus of much of the IACP’s work for a number of years. This toolkit is one step among many in responding to the needs of the field. We hope it will serve as a valuable resource for public safety agencies, their administrators, and others committed to advancing the science and art of police service.
