Intrinsic Issues

As a law enforcement administrator, you experience daily the frustrating dilemma of spending more time dealing with problems than with their causes. CACP wants to deal with the causes: inadequate funding, uninformed legislators and citizens, minimal training standards, incompatible information systems, lack of communication and lack of unification among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and divisions of criminal justice in identifying and resolving problems. If you want your career in law enforcement to make a difference, support CACI in helping you to achieve that goal.

 

Membership Services

The purpose of CACP is to assist Police Chiefs in providing more effective law enforcement practices in their community. To accomplish this goal, CACP offers members:

  •  Annual conferences
  • Executive seminars
  • Training programs
  • Technical assistance
  • Regional meetings
  • Board representation
  • Membership directory
  • Legislative information
  • Representation with the International Association of Chiefs of Police
  • Professional Standards Lobbyist representation
  • Law Enforcement Executive Certification Command Post newsletter quarterly
  • A network of law enforcement expertise upon which to draw

 

CACP's Structure

CACP’s structure includes a Board of ten officers and directors who are Police Chiefs. Each of Colorado’s five geographic regions and major cities are represented on the Board. The representatives hold regional meetings to obtain input from their area.

 

Our committees include:

  • Legislative – works with a lobbyist and other law enforcement associations to identify and inform legislators of legislation obstructive to the effective practice of law enforcement, and to promote laws that protect the public.
  • Membership – expands membership support for CACP among the community at large and the law enforcement community.
  • Training – identifies training needs and provides training programs.
  • Technical Assistance – provides technical assistance to member departments and municipalities in areas as diverse as pension planning, chief selection and policy and procedure development.
  • Professional Standards – develops standards and assessment processes to maintain high professional standards
  • Conference – develops the annual conference program.
