IACP Research Advisory Committee (RAC): Proposed Collaboration with the National Institute of Justice

This grant will support the work of IACP's Research Advisory Committee (RAC), whose mandate is to help federal, state, county, and local law enforcement identify key research issues and conduct timely research through partnerships with researchers. One task of this committee is to produce a national law enforcement research agenda to help local agencies prioritize major and emerging policing issues for research. The grant will support a survey of IACP membership on their views on priority search issues; plan for and hold an annual and midyear meeting of the RAC; create a national research agenda for use by law enforcement agencies; and disseminate this agenda to both police and research communities.
