Engaging IACP members and their representatives in legislative and legal matters is only one way the IACP advocates for law enforcement officers and agencies. The IACP thoroughly examines proposed legislation and analyzes the potential impact on the field and provides support and feedback to the White House, the United States Congress and Supreme Court. The IACP also helps develop police legal advisors from agencies across the globe, who assist the IACP in its mission to advance the field of law enforcement and ensure that the field is aware of relevant court decisions.
