Enhancing Community Trust: Proactive Approaches to Domestic and Sexual Violence

As part of its federally-funded Enhancing Community Trust: Proactive Approaches to Domestic & Sexual Violence initiative, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) released this toolkit containing a law enforcement agency self-assessment, community assessment, sample outreach letter, action planning guide, and additional considerations and resources to support enhancing agency response to victims. The assessments contains sections on departmental policies and practices, hiring and promotion practices, training, data collection and analysis, culture and accountability, and collaboration, “to help guide agencies in thinking critically about current practices and identifying areas with opportunities to update and enhance services provided to the community.”
