On behalf of the collective work of the IACP Human and
Civil Rights Committee, I am pleased to present our 2018
annual report. As I step down as chair, I reflect on the last
four years of service and the amazing accomplishments
that this committee has achieved for the betterment of our
profession. The value of elevating the preservation of civil
rights conversation is more important than ever before. I
fully believe that the incredible work completed by the
members of this committee undoubtedly shaped public
policy and increased awareness across the criminal justice
field.
IACP President Louis Dekmar and the
entire Executive Board have been
instrumental in ensuring the success of our
committee's efforts. The emphasis that we
have placed on this topic would not have
been possible without the support of this
amazing organization. Thank you for
allowing me an opportunity to serve as your
chair. The friendships and experience gained
during my tenure have made me a better
leader both professionally and personally.
