IACP Human and Civil Rights Committee 2016 Annual Report 1

Message f r om t he Chair We have seen tremendous change in our profession during 2015-2016. This report highlights the commitment and collective accomplishments that our members who serve on the Human and Civil Rights Committee have made over the past year. Under the strategic leadership of IACP President Terrence M. Cunningham and the entire Executive Board, the Human and Civil Rights Committee strives to provide expert guidance on matters related to the preservation of the civil rights of all people in our country. Through the many workshops, speeches, and forums hosted by our members, our citizen outreach efforts are making a difference in the lives of the American people. We are at a critical time in policing where the public demands more transparency, accountability, and a desire to have a positive relationship with law enforcement. It is contingent upon us to provide the road map so that organizations can focus on strategies that build stronger, more inclusive communities. I hope you enjoy this report. Police Chief Will D.
