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.

This meeting will engage participants in a discussion on the current trends, issues, and concerns of smaller law enforcement agencies serving populations of 50,000 or fewer and determine what resources can be developed, promoted, or updated to meet those needs.

From this one-day meeting we will develop long-term and short-term recommendations on how to better serve the identified needs of smaller law enforcement agencies.
