IACP Model Policies

The IACP Model Policies are recommended guidelines created by the International Association of Chiefs of Police to help police departments develop clear, consistent procedures. These policies cover important areas like use of force, community interactions, and officer conduct, aiming to promote transparency, accountability, and professionalism. They serve as a framework for departments to establish standards that protect both officers and the community, ensuring actions are lawful and ethical. Implementing these policies helps improve trust, fairness, and effectiveness in law enforcement agencies.
