Looking Back and Forging Forward

Join us in Chicago, IL, at McCormick Place West October 22 - 26, 2011 for the 118th Annual Conference and Exposition. In 1893, at the Chicago Worlds's Fair, 51 police chiefs met to discuss the challenges they faced in their departments and organized the National Chiefs of Police Union, later changed to the International Association of Chiefs of Police in 1902. Today, Police Chiefs from around the globe come together at the IACP Annual Conference to foster the exchange of information and experience among police leaders throughout the world and find solutions to issues they are facing. We invite you to attend and be a part of our history and more importantly the future of Law Enforcement.

"If all the Chiefs of Police view this important matter as I do,... With the aid of this organization[,] I believe that within a few years[,] the statutes of all states and territories governing crime and appertaining to extradition and police matters would be comparatively the same, and with the more efficient police service throughout the country, which this organization would naturally promote, would, according to my idea, operate as the greatest stroke which has ever been made in this country against crime." -W.S. Seavey, November 18, 1892
