In an effort to build our investment portfolio and increase our net worth , last year the GACP entered into an agreement with Fiduciary Vest . I am proud to announce since last July , our investment portfolio grew by more than $ 425,000 and pushed GACP ’ s net worth to more than $ 5.2 million ! So , I can assure each of you the GACP is financially sound and has the financial freedom to allow for top - tier services and training for our membership .
Last year the Executive Board unanimously approved the creation of three new award categories . GACP award categories now include Officer of the Year , Supervisor of the Year , and Administrative Assistant of the Year . By creating these three new award categories , the GACP is positioned to recognize those employees who are the best of the best from around the entire State of Georgia . I am excited about recognizing this year ’ s winners at the Summer Training Conference !
In November 2020 , the U . S . Department of Justice created rules requiring all agencies seeking discretionary grants from the DOJ must first verify their operational policies comply with established DOJ standards . GACP entered into an agreement with the U . S . Department of Justice to serve as the credentialling body for law enforcement agencies in Georgia . To date , 182 agencies have been credentialed as complying with the DOJ ’ s standards .
As you can see , the GACP transitioned the GACP newsletter into a professional magazine , The Georgia Police Chief . This magazine is full of up-to-date information with articles providing our membership with information and references on trending topics in law enforcement . Additionally , you will find scores of resources , all to help our membership better prepare themselves to face an ever changing and complex profession .
Improving the quality of police services begins with good management and effective leadership . One of the most important decisions that a local unit of government will make is the selection of a CEO for its law enforcement agency . GACP provides assistance to municipal and county governments in recruiting and selecting chiefs of police and other senior police
