Sex Offender Management
Since November 2005, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the IACP has worked to identify policy and operational challenges facing law enforcement regarding sex offenders and has developed resources to assist law enforcement executives and their agencies with preventing future victimization, educating the community, holding offenders accountable, and increasing community safety.

In 2007 the IACP, in partnership with the Center for Sex Offender Management (CSOM), was selected to administer the Sex Offender Management Training and Technical Assistance program to BJA’s FY 2007 Comprehensive Approaches to Sex Offender Management (CASOM) grantees. The CASOM Discretionary Grant Program provides funding to help jurisdictions effectively manage sex offenders in the community by implementing new or enhancing existing programs.
Through the Sex Offender Management Training and Technical Assistance program, the IACP and CSOM provide training and technical assistance to FY 2007 BJA CASOM grantees (comprised of law enforcement and community supervision agencies.)
The IACP is developing multiple products and resources to enhance the law enforcement response to sex offenders in the community. Current resources available include:
Two free one-day training workshops for law enforcement executives, community corrections administrators, and law enforcement and probation and parole officers.
