The IACP New Police Chief Mentoring Project is a professional development opportunity that matches experienced mentor chiefs with newer chiefs for formal or informal mentoring, supported by the Mentoring Project team. This is a valuable opportunity that helps to connect smaller and tribal police executives to meet the unique challenges they face. The Discover Policing Mentoring Center is the home of our online database which allows participants to register as mentors or mentees, search for mentors that meet their needs, and contact potential matches directly.

The International Association of Chiefs of Police will support the Law Enforcement Working Group and BJA NTTAC in further defining and developing the General Policing Standards and the Specific Controlled Equipment Standards (as laid out in Executive Order 13688), and developing model policies.

IACP's Smaller Department Section, comprised of nearly 200 smaller agency police chiefs, is a leading national voice for issues relating to smaller law enforcement agencies.The Section identified officer retention to be one of the key issues facing small agencies. We worked with the Section to plan a presentation on how small agencies can address the issue.

The Maine Chiefs of Police Association requested training on mentoring strategies to improve retention and help new police chiefs and other supervisory level law enforcement succeed during their position transitions. The presentation will highlight the impact of providing mentoring support to aspiring and transitioning law enforcement leaders, identify some of the challenges faced by law enforcement executives, and build executive mentoring skills by working through real-life examples.
