Publication now available:
For the first time in many years, the IACP has returned to publishing with the production of a new book titled Best Practices in Law Enforcement Public Information.   Drawing from the experience of police chiefs, their public information officers, and media personnel, this book illustrates the importance of having an effective police-media relationship. It provides the modern police executive with a comprehensive guide for developing, maintaining, and improving this critical relationship. Click here to print order form.
